Touching up paintwork
Paint is an important part of the car’s rust-
proofing and should therefore be checked
regularly. To avoid the onset of rust, dam-
aged paintwork should be rectified immedi-
ately. The most common types of paintwork
damage are stone chips, scratches, and
stains on the edges of wings and doors.
Materials
•primer in a can
paint in a can or touch-up pen
•brush
•masking tape
Colour code
It is important that the exact correct colour is
used. The product decal specifies the car’s
colour code, see page 221.
Repairing stone chips
Before work is begun, the car must be clean
and dry and at a temperature above 15 °C.
1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Then remove the tape
to remove any loose paint.
2. Stir the primer well and apply using a
fine brush or a matchstick. Apply paint
using a brush once the primer is dry.
3. For scratches, proceed as above, but
mask around the damaged area to pro-
tect the undamaged paintwork.
4. After a few days, polish the touched-up
areas. Use a soft rag and a small
amount of lapping paste.

NOTE
If the stone chip has not penetrated to the
bare metal and there is an undamaged col-
our coat, you can paint straight after clean-
ing the damaged surface.
