520 Maintenance
• Brush
If the damage has not reached the underlying metal
and a damaged paint layer is still in place, the paint
can be applied directly after light scraping to remove
any dirt.
If the damage has reached the underlying metal
proceed as follows:
1 Scrape the damaged surface down to bare metal and
chamfer the edges of the paint with a penknife or
similar (figure 1).
2 Apply rust remover (mind your eyes and skin), wait
a few minutes and then flush thoroughly with water.
Dry quickly!
3 Stir the undercoat (primer) well and apply several
coats using a fine brush or match (figure 2).
4 When the undercoat is dry, apply the top coat with a
brush Make sure the paint is stirred well and apply
several thin coats and let dry between applications.
5 For scratches, work as above but to protect the
undamaged paint it may be necessary to mask off
(figure 3).
6 Wait a few days and then apply the after treatment.
The top of the pen contains abrasive paste for
polishing the touched up surfaces. Use a soft cloth and
small amount of abrasive paste.
