Directions For Touch Up Paint Bottles
Surface
Preparation
Thoroughly clean area to be repaired with dish soap (Joy,
Dawn etc.) and water. Then dry completely. The use of
prep solvent and a
clean lint free towel assures the best clean surface free of wax, grease,
and other oil based surface contaminates. For better results do not apply in
direct sunlight.
If sanding is needed: Use 180 grit
sandpaper to
remove rust or bad surface damage. Then use 320 to remove 180 grit
scratches.
Primer
Primer will fill in 180-320 grit sand scratches. Apply
touch up primer over bare metal or plastic 2-3
coats 5-10 minutes in between each coat. Primer can be sanded with 600 wet
sandpaper in as little as 30 minutes.
If you want to blend: after sanding the area with
600, sand the outer edge with 1500 wet sandpaper. Clean the sanding dust
with plain water and dry well. Touch up paint basecoat color will cover over
600 grit scratches, clearcoat will cover up 1500 grit scratches.
Paint Touch Up Application
Thoroughly shake the
touch up paint basecoat color before applying.
Apply as many coats necessary to cover the area leaving 5-10 minutes
minimum between light coats. Do not wet sand or use prep solvent in between
coats of touch up paint or clearcoat.
Please allow 30 minutes after the last layer of base coat color
application to apply touch up clearcoat. Apply 2-3 coats of clearcoat using a
light dabbing motion waiting 10-20 minutes in between each coat. Be gentle with
the brush because you do not want to disturb the undercoats.
Clearcoat should be dry to the touch in 1-2 hours, but
will completely dry overnight. Use
Rubbing Compound once fully dry to
bring out and optimum level of gloss. Do not wax the fresh paint
for one month.
