FAQs
How many coats of paint should I apply?
For best results, apply multiple thin coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. This helps achieve a smoother, more even finish and better coverage.
Can I use this paint on large areas?
This product is specifically designed for small touch-ups like scratches and stone chips. For larger areas, a spray paint or professional application may be more suitable.
What is the drying time for this paint?
The paint is fast-drying. However, specific drying times can vary depending on temperature, humidity, and the thickness of the applied coat. It is generally safe to handle after a short period but allow longer for full curing.
How long is the shelf life of the paint?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed, the paint typically has a shelf life of several years. However, performance may degrade over extended periods.
What surfaces can this paint be used on?
It can be used on metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics, and is compatible with OEM, acrylic, and cellulose finishes.
Do I need to use a primer or lacquer?
Hycote also offers matching primers and lacquers. While this paint can be used on its own for minor chips, using a primer can improve adhesion on bare surfaces, and a lacquer can add extra protection and gloss.
Troubleshooting
Paint not dispensing from brush
Ensure the container is shaken vigorously for the recommended time. Check if the brush is clogged and clean if necessary.
Uneven finish or brush marks
Apply thinner coats and allow them to dry before applying additional layers. Ensure the surface is smooth and clean prior to application.
Color does not match perfectly
Ensure you have the correct paint code for your vehicle. Factors like paint fade on the original surface can also affect the match. For best results, test on an inconspicuous area first.
Paint chipping or peeling after application
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared before application. Excessive moisture or contaminants can compromise adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation is Key: Before applying, ensure the damaged area is clean, dry, and free from grease, dirt, and loose paint. Lightly sand the area if necessary and wipe clean.
Application: Shake the paint well for at least one minute before use. Apply a thin, even coat using the integrated brush. For deeper scratches, multiple thin coats may be required, allowing adequate drying time between each application.
Compatibility: This paint is compatible with OEM finishes, acrylic, and cellulosic finishes. It can be applied to metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics.
Storage and Care: Store the container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is securely closed after use to prevent the paint from drying out. Clean the brush immediately after use with a suitable solvent if necessary.
