Repairing paintwork damage

Paint

Paint is an important part of the car’s rustproo-

fing 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 on wing edges and doors

When repairing paintwork, the car should

be clean and dry with a temperature above

+ 15 °C.

Minor stone chips and

scratches

Material:

· Primer in a can

· Paint in a can or a touch-up pen

· Brush

· Masking tape

· If the stone chip has not gone down to the

bare metal and an unpainted colour coat

remains, you can add paint immediately after

removing dirt.

Do as follows if the stone chip went down to

the bare metal:

· Fasten a piece of masking tape over the

damaged surface. Then remove the tape,

removing any paint residue (illustration 1).

· Stir the primer thoroughly and apply using a

fine brush or matchstick (illustration 2).

· When the primer is dry, apply the surface

coat with a brush.

· Ensure that the paint is well stirred and

apply several thin coats allowing it to dry

between coats.

· The procedure is the same for scratches, but

masking tape can be used to protect

undamaged paintwork (illustration 3).

· Wait a day or so and then finish the repair by

polishing. Use a soft rag and apply lapping

paste sparingly.

Remove any paint residue with tape
