Paint: Service and Repair
PAINT TOUCH-UP
STANDARD PROCEDURE
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
Scratch Filler/Primer and Touch-Up Paints.
1. Scrape loose paint and corrosion from inside scratch or chip.
2. Clean affected area with Mopar 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 defect 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 clear coat, the touch-up color can be lightly (1500 grit or finer) wet sanded and polished with rubbing compound.
6. On vehicles with clear coat, 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.
