How to use our car bottle paint because it is generally inexpensive, convenient and effective. It’s a great way of touching up an area that’s been scuffed or scratched without having to go through the hassle of hiring a professional to paint the car.
Prepare the surface
Before doing any kind of repair work on your vehicle you’ll need to wait until the conditions are warm and 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 allow 5-10 minutes to dry.
Paint Application
Our All in one Touch Up Paint Bottle combines paint and a protective clear coat in one application.
Shake the paint bottle for 30 seconds and then test the color on a test card prior to application.
Remove the lid and apply the all-in-one paint using the applicator ensuring not to spill over onto existing paintwork and allow 10-30 minutes to dry. Re-coat if required.
Flatten & sand after leaving overnight. The repaired area can be carefully sanded back using the P1500-2000 paper and the small block, ensuring you only remove minimal original clear coat.
NOTE: Tri-coat paints come with two paint bottles 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 color. This finish should be applied sparingly.
