Paint: Service and Repair
Paint Touch-Up
PAINTED TOUCH - UP
DESCRIPTION
When a painted metal surface has been scratched or chipped, it should be touched up as soon as possible to avoid corrosion. For best results, use
Mopar(R) Scratch Filler/Primer, Touch Up Paints and Clear Top Coat. Refer to Information Labels.
WARNING: Use an OSHA approved respirator and safety glasses when spraying paint or solvents in a confined area. Personal injury can
result.
TOUCH UP PROCEDURE
1. Scrape loose paint and corrosion from inside scratch or chip.
2. Clean affected area with Mopar(R) Tar/Road Oil Remover, 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 without clearcoat, the touch up color can be lightly finesse sanded (1500 grit) and polished with rubbing compound.
6. 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, Step 5 can be performed on clear top coat.
WARNING: AVOID PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT WITH PETROLEUM OR ALCOHOL - BASED CLEANING SOLVENTS.
PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
