Full details

FAQs
How do I prepare the surface before using the touch-up paint?
Clean the area thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, and wax. Ensure the surface is completely dry. For metal, lightly sand any rust and consider using a primer.
Can I use this paint on any color car?
This specific product is Ford Panther Black (Pearlescent) and is designed to match that exact color. It is not a universal black paint.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is fast-drying. However, drying times can vary depending on temperature, humidity, and application thickness. Allow sufficient time between coats.
Do I need a separate primer or lacquer?
It is recommended to use a compatible primer for bare metal or heavily damaged areas, and a compatible clear lacquer after the color coat has dried, especially for pearlescent finishes, to achieve the best results and durability.
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
This paint is suitable for metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics.
How should I store the touch-up paint?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after use to prevent the paint from drying out.
What is the volume of the paint in the container?
The container volume is 12.5ml.
Troubleshooting
Paint not dispensing from brush
Ensure the container is shaken thoroughly. Check that the brush is not clogged with dried paint; clean if necessary with a solvent.
Uneven finish or streaks
Apply thinner coats. Ensure the surface is smooth and properly prepared. Shake the can more frequently during application.
Pearlescent effect not matching
Pearlescent finishes require careful application of multiple thin, even coats. Ensure consistent distance and angle during application. Re-apply clear lacquer if specified for the original finish.
Paint not adhering to surface
The surface may not have been properly cleaned or prepared. Ensure it is free from grease, dirt, and moisture. Consider light abrasion before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation is key for optimal results. Ensure the area to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease and dirt. Lightly abrade any rust with sandpaper and prime if necessary using a compatible primer before applying the color coat.
Compatibility:
- Vehicle Finishes: Compatible with OEM finishes, acrylic, and cellulosic finishes.
- Surfaces: Suitable for metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics.
Application:
- Shake the container vigorously for at least two minutes before use.
- Apply a thin, even coat using the integrated brush directly onto the scratch or chip.
- Allow adequate drying time between coats, especially for pearlescent finishes where multiple thin layers may be needed.
- If a clear coat is required for the specific repair and vehicle finish, use a compatible clear lacquer after the color coat has fully dried.
Care:
- Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent drying.
- Clean the brush with a suitable solvent (like cellulose thinners) immediately after use if you need to reuse the brush for other applications or to prevent it from hardening.
