Touching up paintwork

Paintwork
Paint is an important part of the car's
rustproofing and should therefore be
checked regularly. Repair paintwork damage
immediately so that it does not start to rust.
The most common types of paintwork
damage that you can repair yourself are:
• minor stone chips and scratches
• damage to wing edges and door
When repairing paintwork, the car should be
clean and dry with a temperature above
15 °C.
Colour code

the bare metal and an unpainted colour
coat remains, you can add paint immedi-
ately after removing dirt.
