Do you take pride in keeping your car looking showroom-ready? In that case, you’ll want to deal with any chips or scratches as soon as they happen.
That’s when car touch up paint comes to the rescue. With precise colour-matching and application methods, touch up paint can deal with the annoying road rash that’s a fact of life.
What is car touch up paint?
At Auto Aerosol, we offer the best car touch up paint, providing our customers with a straightforward way to deal with inevitable chips and scratches. It’s easy to use and has a flawless, durable finish at an affordable price.
The best part? Our car paints are available in four different application methods to match the level of damage.
How do I find the right car touch up paint?
Start by finding your paint code to get the perfect shade for your repairs. There are a couple of ways to find the unique colour identifier for your car:
- Use our handy paint code finder. Enter your car registration or make and model, and we’ll generate the colour code you need. Then, you can order your perfect shade.
- Look for the paint codes on your vehicle. You can usually find your car’s specific colour code either under the bonnet, in the boot, or on the driver’s side door post.
Choosing the right type of paint
Before ordering your touch up paint, take a closer look at the damage. Run your finger over the affected bodywork — if it gets caught on the paint, this means you have a deep scratch that would benefit from a primer layer before you apply the paint.
A paint pen will do the trick for minor areas of damage like a chip or scratch. It’s a handy and precise way to deal with minor blemishes, especially in hard-to-reach places. If you prefer the control of a paintbrush, try our paint pots (with a dedicated brush included) so you can blend the paint for a seamless finish.
If you’ve noticed a section of road rash on your paintwork, try aerosol paint. It’s a flawless way to cover large scrapes caused by loose gravel and stones, giving you the cover you need in smooth, even coats.
For significant problems, including complete panel repairs, you need our large paint tins that are designed for use with a spray gun attachment. This method effortlessly deals with full-panel resprays for a factory-standard finish.
Four steps to touch up paint success
Preparation is key to a successful car scratch repair, no matter which Auto Aerosol paint application method you choose. Here’s how to get it right every time:
- Prep the area
Start by cleaning and degreasing the damaged area of your car. Deeper scratches may require a primer before you start painting. - Mix your paint
Mix the paint thoroughly to get an even colour with a good shake of the paint bottle, pen, aerosol, or tin. To check your colour match, test the paint on an invisible area of the bodywork, like inside the wheel arch. - Apply your paint
It’s time to remove that chip or scratch. Apply the paint in smooth, thin coats using a paint pen, bottle, aerosol, or spray gun. Allow at least 25 minutes of drying time between each coat for professional-standard results. - Let it dry
Let each coat of paint dry completely to avoid drips. Then, finish with a clear coat for the longest-lasting results.
