Masking tape

NOTE: When touching up the car, it should be clean and dry. The surface temperature should be above

60° F (15° C).

Minor scratches on the surface

If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and an undamaged layer of paint remains, the

touchup paint can be applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned.

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.
