Touch-up pen for cars against scratches – application tips

Full description of the touch-up pen for cars

The touch-up pen for repairing scratches and chips on vehicle paint is a special touch-up marker filled with automotive paint and features a brush for easy application. This tool is perfect for removing scratches on your vehicle.

Tips for using the touch-up pen for cars

A crucial factor for a successful repair is proper surface preparation. If the damaged area is cleaned, degreased, and thoroughly dried, the paint will adhere better. Cleaning agent residue or dust in the scratch mark can cause the paint to peel off quickly.

Avoid using lint-free cloths for drying, as fibers can get into the damaged area and reduce the adhesion of the paint. It's better to use a hairdryer to speed up the drying process.

Special features when using the touch-up pen to repair scratches

If the damage is deep and extends to the metal of the vehicle, a primer should be applied first before using the touch-up pen. The primer can also be ordered in pen form with a brush.

Apply the varnish in thin coats (2–3 coats), allowing each coat to dry for 15–20 minutes. The final coat should not extend above the surface of the surrounding varnish. If this does occur, carefully polish the repaired area.

How to choose the right touch-up pen for scratch repair

To select the right paint color , you'll need to know the paint number/name, the vehicle's VIN, and the make and model . Applying two to three coats of paint will help ensure a precise color match. For best results, we recommend using a paint and clear coat kit to prevent premature peeling or color changes.

Please note that the vehicle should not be used for at least 24 hours after the repair to avoid disturbing the drying process of the paint.
