Product Information

Full details

This Hycote Touch Up Colour Brush Paint in Silver is designed for car owners looking for a quick and easy solution to repair minor paint damage like scratches and stone chips. Its key benefit is providing a tough, hard-wearing finish with excellent resistance to sunlight and fading, ensuring a lasting repair. A potential caveat is that precise colour matching depends on the over 100 specific vehicle manufacturer and model codes it's been matched to, so verifying compatibility is crucial for a seamless blend. The paint features OEM compatibility, fast drying properties, and can be applied to various surfaces.

FAQs

How do I ensure I have the correct silver shade for my car?

Check your vehicle's paint code, which is typically found on a sticker in the door jamb, under the hood, or in the owner's manual. Match this code to the Hycote product code. Hycote has color-matched to over 100 specific vehicle manufacturers and models.

Can this paint be used on plastic parts?

Yes, the Hycote Colour Touch Up Brush Paint is suitable for use on plastics, as well as metals, wood, and ceramics, in addition to vehicle finishes.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. However, specific drying times can vary based on temperature, humidity, and the thickness of the application. It is best to refer to the product packaging for the most accurate drying time indications.

What is the best way to apply the paint for a smooth finish?

Ensure the surface is clean and properly prepared. Shake the container well and apply thin, even coats using the built-in brush. Avoid applying too much paint at once; multiple light coats are better than one heavy coat.

Is this paint compatible with clear coats?

While the paint is compatible with OEM finishes and can be used on various surfaces, it is primarily designed for color matching. For ultimate protection and gloss, a compatible clear coat lacquer may be applied over the touch-up paint once it has fully cured, if required for the specific repair.

How should I store the touch-up paint after use?

Ensure the cap is tightly sealed immediately after use. Store the container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and frost to maintain the paint's quality.

Troubleshooting

Paint does not match the vehicle's silver color.

Ensure you have correctly identified your vehicle's manufacturer, model, and year to select the precisely matched Hycote paint. Verify the product code matches your vehicle's paint code if available. Color can also be affected by the condition of the original paint; consider if the original paint has faded.

The brush applies paint unevenly or too thickly.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed by shaking the can adequately. Use light, even strokes and avoid overloading the brush. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat for a smoother finish.

Paint is not adhering to the surface.

The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or dust. For non-metallic surfaces or areas with significant damage, a primer may be necessary before applying the touch-up paint.

The paint runs or sags during application.

This is usually due to applying the paint too thickly or in humid conditions. Apply thinner coats and allow sufficient drying time between each application. Work in a well-ventilated area with moderate temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before use, ensure the damaged area is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and rust. Lightly sand any rough edges if necessary. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes to thoroughly mix the paint. Apply a thin, even coat using the built-in brush. Allow adequate drying time between coats, as recommended on the product packaging. For best results, apply in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Compatibility: This paint is designed to be compatible with original OEM finishes and is suitable for use over existing acrylic and cellulosic finishes. It can be applied to bare metal, primed surfaces, plastics, wood, and ceramics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure about surface compatibility.

Care: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent the paint from drying out. Clean the brush immediately after use with a suitable solvent if needed, or allow any residual paint on the brush to dry and it can be discarded.
