Transform Your Car's Appearance with the Right Touch-Up Paint
A small paint repair can make a noticeable difference to the appearance of a vehicle. The best result comes from choosing the correct colour, preparing the damaged area and using a product suited to the size of the repair.
Start with the Paint Code
Use the vehicle's paint code where available. This gives you a more reliable colour reference than trying to match the finish by eye.
Choose the Right Product
Touch-up pens and brush bottles are useful for small chips and scratches. Aerosols can be more suitable when a repair covers a larger area. Our automotive paint guide helps match product type to repair size.
Prepare the Surface
Clean the panel and remove loose material before painting. Sand and prime only where appropriate for the damage and paint system. Good preparation is one of the biggest factors in the finished appearance.
Build the Repair Gradually
Apply controlled coats and allow the required drying time. Avoid overloading the defect, as excess paint can leave an uneven repair.
Protect the Finish
Where the paint system calls for it, use the compatible clear coat and allow the repair to cure before polishing or exposing it to harsh conditions. See our clear coat guide.
