What level of damage can car touch up paint repair?
Touch up paint is the most efficient way to repair minor paint damage to a car, from scratches and scuffs to scrapes and chips. Our high-quality car paints can restore your vehicle in an instant, boosting its resale value in a single application.
Our car touch up paints come with four application methods to suit your repair needs:

How do I find out the colour of my vehicle for a paint repair?
Seamless repairs start with the perfect colour match. Using your car’s unique paint code, we can custom-mix the ideal shade for the perfect match.
If you don’t know what your paint code is, use our handy colour code finder. All you need to do is enter your car registration or your model and year, and we’ll generate the exact colour you need.
However, getting the right hue is only half the solution. Once you know the colour you need, it’s important to choose the best paint application method for the damage at hand. This will ensure you the best results.
What tools do you need to apply touch up paint?
Alongside your chosen car repair paint, these are all the tools you’ll need for a seamless repair:
- Car shampoo
- Wax and grease remover
- Fine sandpaper
- Primer (optional — recommended if you’re repairing a deep scratch)
- Clear coat (optional — recommended for long-lasting results)
Now you have the tools you need for our quick car paint repair how-to:
-
- Clean your car and apply a wax and grease remover to the damage. Dry thoroughly. This basic prep will help the paint adhere better.
- Lightly sand the edges of the damage to create a smooth and even surface. If the scratch or chip extends below the base coat, apply a layer of primer.
- Shake your chosen product to homogenise the paint, and test the colour match somewhere invisible, like inside the wheel arch.
- Apply your custom-mixed paint in thin, even layers. Allow plenty of drying time after each application. We recommend at least 25 minutes for best results.
- Finally, apply a layer of clear coat for a long-lasting repair. A coat of polish will help the repair blend seamlessly into the existing paintwork.
