Here in Royston, GA it is sometimes necessary for drivers to apply touch-up paint to a vehicle. Tri-County Chevrolet wants to share some good practices for using touch-up paint.
Remember, touch-up paint is a quick fix that can sometimes provide a temporary solution until a proper paint job is feasible. Many touch up paint products are excellent, but you need to follow some important steps. First, you need to begin with a clean surface. Wash the area of the car you'll be working on and make sure it is dry before proceeding.
Before you paint, give the spot a light sanding with fine grain sandpaper. Don't overdo it. After this, you will want to clean the area again with paint thinner. A clear coat can be applied before using the touch-up paint to provide the best results. Let it dry and add another coat if necessary.
