FAQs

What is this touch-up paint for?

This paint is designed for touching up minor scratches and stone chips on vehicle paintwork.

Is this paint suitable for all car colors?

No, this specific product (XCBM609) is color-matched for BMW Space Grey (Metallic). Hycote offers other variants for different colors and manufacturers.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. Specific drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity, but it's designed for quick application and recoating.

Can I use this on plastic parts?

Yes, the paint is suitable for use on various surfaces, including plastics, as well as metals, wood, and ceramics.

How should I prepare the surface before painting?

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, and rust. Lightly sand any rough edges around the damage.

What is the volume of paint in the container?

The container volume is 12.5ml.

Does this paint protect against rust?

While the hard-wearing finish offers protection, it's primarily for cosmetic repair. For deeper chips that expose metal, addressing potential rust is recommended before applying touch-up paint.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not flowing from the brush

Ensure the paint is thoroughly shaken. Check that the brush is not clogged with dried paint. If clogged, carefully clean with a suitable solvent as per manufacturer guidelines, or use a new brush if necessary.

Poor adhesion to the surface

The surface may not have been adequately cleaned or prepared. Ensure the area is free from dirt, grease, and wax. Light sanding can improve adhesion on smooth surfaces.

Color does not match the vehicle

Verify that the paint code (XCBM609 for BMW Space Grey Metallic) is correct for your vehicle model and year. Color variations can occur due to age, fading, or incorrect identification. Ensure the paint was adequately mixed.

Brush strokes are visible after drying

Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Use light, consistent strokes. Allow adequate drying time between coats. For very fine scratches, a touch-up pen with a finer tip might be more suitable.
