How To Fix Vehicle Scratches Using Touch-up Paint
Scratches are inevitable. As a vehicle owner, we want you to know how to address these issues as they arise. Here is how touch-up paint can rid your vehicle of any superficial flaws.
The cleaning and preparation process is critical. Paint adheres better to rough surfaces, so sand the surrounding area with emery sandpaper or 220 grit. Use water to clean the surface during and after the sanding process. Once you have allowed the area to dry, follow the directions given on the touch-up paint container.
If you are fixing a deep scratch, you will need to apply a thin coat of primer to the exposed metal after you finish sanding. Once dry, use at least 600 grits to sand the primer. From there, you can proceed to paint the area using an applicator or an appropriate-sized paintbrush.
