Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using the Hycote paint, ensure the damaged area is clean, dry, and free from loose rust or wax residue. If the scratch has exposed bare metal, applying a primer before the color coat is recommended for optimal adhesion. The paint is compatible with most OEM finishes, acrylic, and cellulosic paints, but always perform a small test patch in an inconspicuous area if you are unsure of your current finish. To care for the applicator, ensure the cap is tightened firmly after each use to prevent the paint from drying out inside the bottle. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
