PAINT TOUCH-UP
If the painted metal surface of a vehicle becomes scratched or chipped to metal, it should be touched-up as soon as
possible to avoid corrosion.
WARNING: Use an OSHA approved respirator and safety glasses when spraying paint or solvents. Failure
to follow this warning may result in possible personal injury or death.
When repairing painted metal surfaces, for best results, use MOPART Scratch Filler/Primer, Touch-Up Paints and
Clear Top Coat.
1. Scrape any loose paint and corrosion from inside the scratch or chip.
WARNING: Avoid prolonged skin contact with petroleum or alcohol–based cleaning solvents. Failure
to follow this warning can result in possible personal injury or death.
NOTE: Skin contact with petroleum or alchohol-based cleaning solvents can be avoided by wearing
nitrile gloves.
2. Clean affected area with MOPART Tar/Road Oil Remover or equivalent, and allow to dry.
3. Fill the inside of the scratch or chip with a coat of filler/primer. Do not overlap primer onto good surface finish.
The applicator brush should be wet enough to puddle-fill the scratch or chip without running. Do not stroke
brush applicator on body surface. Allow the filler/primer to dry hard.
4. Cover the filler/primer with color touch-up paint. Do not overlap touch-up color onto the original color coat
around the scratch or chip. Butt the new color to the original color, if possible. Do not stroke applicator brush
on body surface. Allow touch-up paint to dry hard.
5. On vehicles with clearcoat, apply clear top coat to touch-up paint with the same technique as described in step
4. Allow clear top coat to dry hard. If desired, the clearcoat can be lightly finesse sanded (1500 grit) and
polished with rubbing compound.
