Touching up paintwork
Paintwork
Paint is an important part of the car’s
rustproofing and should therefore be
checked regularly. To avoid the onset of rust,
damaged paintwork must be rectified
immediately. The most common types of
paintwork damage are stone chips,
scratches, and marks on the edges of wings
and doors.
Colour code
It is important that the correct colour is used.
The car’s colour code is shown on the
product decal on the B-pillar. See page 208.
Stone chips and scratches
Before touching up paintwork, the car must
be clean and dry and at a temperature
above 15 °C.
Materials
Primer in a can
Paint in a can or touch-up pen
Brush
Masking tape
Minor stone chips and scratches
If the stone chip has not penetrated to the
bare metal and there is an undamaged colour
coat, you can paint straight after cleaning the
damaged area.
If the stone chip has penetrated to the
bare metal
Stick a piece of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Then remove the tape
to remove any loose paint.
Stir the primer well and apply using a fine
brush or matchstick. Apply paint using a
brush once the primer is dry.
For scratches, proceed as above, but
mask around the damaged area to protect
the undamaged paintwork.
After a few days, polish the touched-up
areas. Use a soft rag and a small amount
of lapping paste.
