Our Touch Up Repair Pen is ideal for addressing minor scratches and small chips.

Prepare & Clean

Clear away dirt or grease. Any dirt or grease on the surface should be thoroughly removed, as they can interfere with the bonding of the paint. 

 

Shake & Test

Shaking the Touch Up Pen is a crucial step in the process. The paint inside may have settled or separated over time. Thorough mixing is essential to achieve the right consistency and colour uniformity. Properly mixed paint adheres better to the surface and provides better coverage.

 

Brush, Nib or Micro-brushes?

When deciding which applicator to use, consider the size and type of the area you're repairing. The needle-like pen is perfect for precise, small-scale work, while the internal brush is suitable for slightly larger areas. The micro-brushes are ideal for slightly larger scratches that still require a precise application.

The 20 ml touch-up paint comes with a high precision needle-like pen that is concealed inside the clear lid. This pen is designed for pinpoint accuracy when applying paint to scratches or small chips. Here's how to access and use it:

  • Start by locating the clear lid on the touch-up paint container.
  • Inside this lid, there's a red protective tip that remains securely inside it to prevent any accidental spills or leaks.
  • To access the high precision needle-like pen, you need to perform a firm pull on the lid. Gently tug it in an upward direction, and the pen should become visible. Make sure to handle this pen with care, as it's designed for precise applications.

In addition to the needle-like pen, the 20 ml touch-up paint also features a small fine brush that's embedded within the paint itself. This brush is useful for broader strokes or areas that require a bit more coverage. Here's how to access and use it:

  • On the main container of the touch-up paint, there is a white collar around the neck.
  • The small fine brush is situated inside the paint, right beneath this white collar.
  • To access the brush, you should unscrew the white collar in an anticlockwise (counterclockwise) direction. This action will reveal the brush.

Test a small amount of paint within the damaged area to check the colour match – give it 15 minutes to dry as paints can often appear different in colour; inside the bottle, when still wet or if applied incorrectly or onto original undamaged paint work.

 

Paint & Finish

With either pen or brush apply thin, light coats in smooth strokes; ensuring you only apply the paint within the damaged area.

If you’re using the needle point pen allow the nib to sit inside the scratch or chip and squeeze gently.

Leave the paint to dry for 15 minutes before applying any further coats.   

PLEASE NOTE: – cold, damp weather can adversely affect the application, finish, and drying time of paints
