Repairing minor paint damage such as
stone chips and scratches
G021832
Before work is started, the car must be clean and
dry as well as at a temperature above 15 °C.
1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the dam-
aged surface. Then remove the tape to
remove any loose paint.
If the damage has reached down to a metal
surface (sheet steel), it is preferable to use a
primer. In the event of damage to a plastic
surface, an adhesive primer should be used
for better results - spray into the spray can's
cap and brush thinly.
2. Before painting, gentle polishing using a very
fine polishing agent may be carried out
locally if required (e.g. if there are any uneven
edges). Clean the surface thoroughly and
allow to dry.
3. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine
brush, matchstick or similar. Finish with base
coat and clear coat once the primer has
dried.
4. For scratches, proceed as above, but mask
around the damaged area to protect the
undamaged paintwork.
NOTE
If the stone chip has not penetrated down to
the meal and an undamaged layer of paint
remains in place, fill in with base coat and
clear coat as soon as the surface has been
cleaned.
