Touch-up paint pens and paint spray cans are only suitable for temporarily touching up minor paint damage such as stone marks or scratches. They are not to be used for the original repair paintwork on the outer panels because they cannot reproduce the original condition.

With this kind of damage, and also in the repair of this damage, the entire paint structure is often damaged right down to the sheet metal. For reasons of quality and corrosion protection, a primer must be applied before touching up the top coat in such cases.
