model plate. The plate is located in the rear wall of the engine compartment (fire wall).
Minor stone chips and scratches
Material:
Primer can
Paint touchup bottle
Brush
Masking tape
NOTE: When touching up the car, it should be clean and dry. The surface temperature should be above
60° F (15° C).
Scratches on the surface
If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and an undamaged layer of paint remains, the
touchup paint can be applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned.
Deep scratches
1. Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of
paint adhere to it.
2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush.
When the primer surface is dry, the paint can be applied using a brush. Mix the paint thoroughly; apply
several thin paint coats and let dry after each application.
3. If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off.
