I got a set of touch-up paint a few days ago and plan to start work. Unfortunately, it has been raining these days. The weather turned fine in the morning, and the temperature showed 26 degrees. I packed my tools and went out at 7 am.
For the first time, I opened the package and counted several tools, mainly including a touch-up pen, a spray can, a package of thinner, dropper, sandpaper, sponge and other small objects, and a can of spray paint. According to the instructions, the first step is to thoroughly clean up the parts that need to be repaired, and clean up all the rust, wax, oil pollution and moisture in the scratched parts. So prepare clean water and dry and wet rags. If you can clean the car in advance, you can save a lot of time.

Tools have different uses. After the cap of the finishing pen is removed, a small brush similar to that used by ladies to brush nail polish is attached to the cap. You can manually brush the exposed part of the primer with this brush.
A touch-up pen with a cap removed and a proper amount of diluent added can be inserted into a red spray can to form a spray can with a very thin nozzle. Pressing it can aim at small scratches and spray more accurately.
The white spray can is similar to a mosquito killer, and the nozzle is thicker, which is suitable for large-area spraying but the scar is not heavy.
Tips:
1. If two people cooperate, it is suggested that the main players be familiar with the operation of tools and help them clean up paint marks.
It is best to wash the car in advance.
Step 2: Prepare touch-up paint and thoroughly clean the touch-up parts.
Because it rained the day before, I didn't have time to wash the car, so I have to clean it now and get the muddy water away first. In front of the right side of the front bumper, several red marks were wiped by a red car. Ordinary rags can't be wiped off. The water sandpaper was tried, and it was easy to wipe off. The damage of their car paint was very small. Car owners may wish to look at the scratches on their cars. Perhaps it is also such a "fake injury." Just wipe them off with sandpaper.
First, clean the scratches and remove stains, rust and oil stains.
After cleaning the cut marks, according to practical experience, it is suggested to divide the damage degree of the paint surface, so as to facilitate the use of different tools and make it more perfect. For example, slight scratches can be sprayed with white cans, with large spray surface and small color difference. Moderate scratches can be repaired slowly with a small spray can. When the primer is exposed, brush it with a brush and then use a small spray can.
Tips:
1. Clean the scratches, which are divided into mild scratches (slight scars), moderate scratches (paint damage) and severe scratches (exposed primer).
2. Cover the glass, lamps and decorations near the scratches.
Step 3: formally touch up the paint, first touch up the paint and then spray it.
Paint touch-up renderings
Everything is ready and the maintenance officially begins.
Shake the paint in the touch-up pen first.
Shake the pigment in the touch-up pen evenly.
Repair the exposed part of the primer.
Touch up the primer like nail polish
Add some thinner to the touch-up pen, so that it can be sprayed smoothly.
diluent
Install the touch-up pen on the spray can.
Install the decorative pen holder on the spray can.
Carefully aim at the position just repaired.
Fine shooting
The color difference is not so obvious when it is sprayed in a large range with a large spray can. Look carefully, the original deep wounds are still uneven.
Finally, spray it with another special spray can.
Step 4: Check the effect and finish.
After working for more than an hour, I still feel a sense of accomplishment. Although the repair is not particularly detailed, you really can't see the original scratches from a distance. See the comparison chart below for details.
1. Overwrite related parts:
Hands are cheap, don't get excited when spraying mosquitoes. Oh, the fog light is not covered, and the consequence of spraying it indiscriminately is that it will take ten minutes to scrub it. It can be scrubbed with thinner.
It is best to cover the position outside the scratch.
2. Try hard before spraying.
As mentioned above, people may have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and they don't want to give up after spraying. As a result, they spray too much. It's best to try the strength in an inconspicuous position first. If the spraying force is too strong or too close to the car, it is not easy to spray evenly, resulting in slurry flow.
Too close to each other leads to excessive spraying force and uneven spraying.
