FAQs
Can I use this on plastic bumpers?
Yes, this paint is designed to be compatible with both metal and plastic automotive surfaces.
Does this require a clear coat?
For optimal protection and gloss matching on metallic or pearlescent finishes, a clear coat can be applied over the top once the paint is fully cured.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint is fast-drying, typically touch-dry within minutes, but allow at least 24 hours for a full cure before polishing.
Is this suitable for large body repairs?
No, this is intended for touch-ups of stone chips and scratches. For large panels, an aerosol spray or professional spray gun is recommended.
Will this fix deep rust?
This paint provides a cosmetic cover. You must treat any underlying rust with a rust inhibitor before applying the touch-up paint.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thick or gloopy
Ensure the bottle is stored in a room-temperature environment; cold paint becomes viscous. Shake vigorously for at least two minutes.
Visible brush marks after drying
Use a lighter touch and try to apply thinner layers. Avoid over-brushing once the paint starts to become tacky.
Paint is not adhering to the surface
The surface likely contains wax, oil, or silicone residue. Clean thoroughly with an automotive panel wipe or degreaser.
Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, prepare the surface by removing any loose rust or debris with a fine abrasive pad. Clean the area with a degreasing agent to ensure proper adhesion. The Hycote paint is compatible with most OEM finishes; however, it is always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first to verify the colour match. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is tightly closed to prevent the solvents from evaporating, which can thicken the paint. When finished, you may clean the brush with a small amount of thinners if the paint has begun to set, though wiping the bristles thoroughly with a lint-free cloth after each use is usually sufficient.
