Car care
Touching up paintwork
Paintwork
Paint is an important part of the car’s
rustproofing 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 to wing edges and doors.
When repairing paintwork, the car should be
clean and dry with a temperature above
+15
°C.
Colour code
Make sure you have the right colour. The
colour code number (1) is on the data plate in
the engine compartment.
Data plate
Remove any paint residue with tape.
Mask if necessary.
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 immedi-
ately 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.
Make sure 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.
