NOTE: When touching up the vehicle, it should be clean and dry. The surface temperature should be above 60° F (15°
C).
If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and an undamaged layer of paint remains, the touch-up paint can
be applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned.
Paint color code
Deep scratches
1. Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to
it.
2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush. When the primer surface is dry, the paint can be applied
using a brush. Mix the paint thoroughly;
apply several thin paint coats and let dry after each application.
3. If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off.
