FAQs

What is the best way to prepare the surface before using the touch-up paint?

Clean the area thoroughly with a degreaser or soap and water, then dry it completely. Remove any loose paint flakes. For best adhesion, lightly abrading the surface can be beneficial.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

Apply thin, even coats. Usually, two to three thin coats are sufficient. Allow each coat to dry for at least 15-30 minutes before applying the next. Avoid applying thick coats, as this can lead to runs and an uneven finish.

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.

What is the shelf life of this touch-up paint?

When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed, the paint typically maintains its quality for several years. However, it's best to use it within 1-2 years of purchase for optimal performance.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. It is usually touch-dry within 15-30 minutes, with full hardening occurring over a longer period.

Can I use this paint over existing clear coat?

This touch-up paint is designed to be a direct match and repair. While compatible with OEM finishes, for best results and longevity, it's recommended to apply it directly to the base colour or primer in the damaged area.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not dispensing

Ensure the can is shaken vigorously for at least two minutes. Check if the brush is clogged and clean it if necessary. If the nozzle is blocked, try clearing it with a solvent and a fine needle.

Uneven finish or brush marks

Apply in thin, even coats rather than one thick layer. Allow each coat to become touch-dry before applying the next. For best results, practice on a scrap surface first.

Color does not match perfectly

Verify you have selected the correct colour code for your vehicle. Ensure the paint has been thoroughly mixed. Note that variations in the original paint's age and condition can affect the final match.

Paint peeling or not adhering

The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure the area is completely clean, dry, and free from contaminants like oil or wax. Lightly sanding the area before application can improve adhesion.
