When you're applying touch-up paint to a scratch on your car, you want to know that you're doing it right the first time. A little bit of touch-up paint can protect your car from rust later down the road. At Tyler Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Niles, MI, we're always looking for ways to better serve our customers, so we like to give little tips that can help you along the way.
Always wash your car before you do anything else so that you have a clean surface that the paint can adhere to. The second step that you need to make the paint stick is to sand the scratch and the area around it.
Finally, before you apply the paint, clean the area with paint thinner. Then, you'll apply the paint according to the directions. After the paint has dried, you need to apply the clear coat. Let it cure, then take your car for a drive.
