Paint Touch-up
Your dealer has touch-up paint to
match your car's color. The color
code is printed on a sticker on the
driver's doorjamb. Take this code to
your dealer so you are sure to get the
correct color. Although bare alumi-
num does not "rust" like bare metal,
it will corrode and turn to dull gray if
left unprotected.

TOUCH-UP
PAINT
Inspect your car for chipped or
scratched paint every time you wash
it. Repair it as soon as possible to
prevent corrosion. Use the touch-up
paint on small chips and scratches.
More extensive damage should be
repaired by a professional.
Examine the chip or scratch closely
before repairing it. If it does not go
down to bare metal, clean it with soap
and water and apply t h e touch-up
paint. If it does go to t h e metal, apply
a coat of primer first. After this dries,
apply the touch-up paint. Build up the
paint in the damaged area to the level
of the surrounding paint. Several
thin coats of paint are better than one
thick coat.
