Paint Touch-Up: Description: Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  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 topcoat to dry hard. If desired, step  5. can be performed on clear topcoat.
