XYLENE is a solvent and can be used as a cleaning agent.

It is not a touch up paint.

thanks for the quick reply
do you now of anything that you can recommend that i can use on the chipped frame ?

just a thought, as Xylene can also be used as a paint thinner, the lable could just be a warning that it contains Xylene is there a built in brush in the cap?

if yes then i would say it is touch up paint.

yes there is a brush,also a ball to aid the mix
cheers

Xylene is indeed a solvent, but then that is how paints tend to work, some form of stain or solid dissolved in a volatile solvent, I'd paint a bit on a bit of glass and see what happens.
