Before doing any kind of repair work on your car outside you’ll need to wait until the conditions are dry.
Ensure the area to be repaired is clean, free from wax and contaminants and is dry.
Then sand out any rust scabs, scratches or paintwork damage with coarse wet or dry sandpaper. Over time, you’ll start to see the paint flaking away. Once most of the paint has been removed you’ll want to change the sandpaper to 180-320 grit to ensure it’s smooth enough for priming. Don’t leave any small marks or scratches behind as these won’t be covered up by the paint.
Primer Application
If bare metal is exposed then carefully apply touch up primer to the metal only, ensuring not to spill over onto existing paintwork and at least allow 20 minutes to fully dry.
Paint Application
Shake your paint pen for 30 seconds with cap on and the ball rattling and test colour on the test card prior to application.
Remove the cap and press the spring loaded tip of the paint pen a few times on a flat surface until the paint flows. Apply the paint to the damaged area ensuring not to spill over onto existing paintwork and allow 10-30 minutes to dry. Re-coat if required.
Flatten & sand after leaving overnight.
Clear Coat Application
To ensure the repair is durable long term, apply a clear coat layer to the repaired area. Apply in the same way as your paint. The result is a crystal clear, durable finish that will last years.
NOTE: Tri-coat paints come with two paint pens and require the application of the ground coat “Paint 1” first. Once paint 1 has been applied and you are satisfied with the finish and the paint is dry you can then apply “paint 2” which adds the final colour. This finish should be applied sparingly.
