Exterior Care
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.
Appearance Care
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 the
touch-up paint. If it does go to the
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.
