FAQs
What is this product best used for?
This product is ideal for touching up minor paint damage such as scratches, stone chips, and scuffs on vehicles. It's designed for small, localized repairs.
How many coats should I apply?
It is recommended to apply multiple thin coats, allowing 15-20 minutes drying time between each coat, rather than one thick coat for a smoother and more durable finish.
Can I use this on plastic parts?
Yes, the paint is compatible with plastics, as well as primed metal, wood, and ceramics.
Do I need a primer or lacquer?
While the touch-up paint is designed to be compatible with existing finishes, using a primer before application on bare surfaces and a clear lacquer after for protection can enhance the durability and appearance of the repair.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is fast-drying, typically requiring 15-20 minutes between coats. Full curing times may vary depending on environmental conditions.
What if the colour match isn't perfect?
Hycote provides precision colour matching, but slight variations can occur due to the age and condition of the original paint. Always ensure you have the correct colour code for your vehicle.
How should I store the touch-up paint?
Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use.
Troubleshooting
Paint not dispensing from the brush
Ensure the container is shaken thoroughly. Check if the brush is clogged; if so, gently clean it with a solvent if safe to do so, or ensure the paint hasn't dried in the cap.
Uneven or streaky finish
Apply thinner coats. Avoid excessive pressure on the brush. Ensure the surface is smooth before application. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Color does not match exactly
Ensure the original paint is clean and not faded. Minor variations can occur due to age and environmental factors affecting the original paint. Re-check the product's specific colour code if available.
Paint is too thick or too thin
If too thick, ensure thorough shaking. If too thin, multiple thin coats may be required. If the paint is excessively thick and unusable, it may be too old or have been stored improperly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Preparation: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, or rust. Lightly abrade any chipped areas with fine-grit sandpaper if necessary.
Shaking: Shake the container vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed.
Application: Apply a thin, even coat using the built-in brush. Avoid applying too thickly, as this can lead to runs and an uneven finish.
Drying: Allow 15-20 minutes between coats for drying. For best results, apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat.
Compatibility:
Compatible with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) finishes.
Suitable for both acrylic and cellulosic paint systems.
Can be applied to primed metal, plastic, wood, and ceramic surfaces.
Care:
Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after use to prevent the paint from drying out.
Clean the brush immediately after use with a suitable solvent (e.g., cellulose thinners) if available, or wipe clean.
