Touch up paint is a lifesaver for fixing small scratches and chips on your car's finish. It can be tricky to apply if you've never done it before, but with this guide, you'll be able to do it like a pro!
So, let's get started! The first thing you'll need to do is gather the supplies you'll need for the job. Touch up paint, of course, is the most important item on the list. You'll also need a few other things:
-A small brush (a toothbrush or cotton swab will work in a pinch)
-A clean, dry cloth
-Masking tape
-Newspaper or drop cloths (optional)
Once you have your supplies, the next step is to prep the area you'll be painting. If the scratch is deep, you may need to use masking tape to protect the surrounding area from paint. If the scratch is shallow, you can skip this step.
Next, you'll want to clean the area around the scratch with a dry cloth. This will help the paint adhere better. Once the area is clean, apply a small amount of touch up paint to the brush. Then, gently dab the paint onto the scratch, using light strokes.
If the paint is too thick, you can add a little bit of nail polish remover to thin it out. This will also help the paint dry faster. Once the paint is dry, you can remove the masking tape (if you used it) and enjoy your newly-repaired car!
