Directions For Touch Up Paint Pens
Surface Preparation
Thoroughly clean area to be repaired with dish
soap (Joy, Dawn etc.) and water. Then dry completely. The use of
prep solvent and a clean lint free towel assures the best clean
surface free of wax, grease, and other oil based surface
contaminates. For better results do not apply in direct sunlight.
Loading The Tip With Paint
Shake the paint pen tightly capped
until the ball rattles freely. Remove the cap and press the spring
loaded tip of the paint pen on a flat surface until the paint flows
through. You may need to press the tip in a few times for some
colors. This process may need to be repeated in between coats. Paint
should be tested on a surface before using on
your vehicle.
Primer Paint Pen
Apply
paint pen primer
waiting 5-10 minutes in between each coat. Apply enough primer to
cover the area to be primed. Wait 30 minutes before sanding with 600
grit wet sandpaper or applying color. Do not use prep solvent over
fresh primer.
Paint Touch Up Application
Thoroughly shake the
automotive base
coat color pen before applying. Apply as many coats necessary to
cover the area waiting at least 5 minutes between each light coat. Do not wet sand or use
prep solvent in between coats of touch up paint. Wait at least one
hour before using clearcoat.
Clearcoat Paint Pen
Application
Please allow at least 1 hour after the last coat
of basecoat to apply the
clearcoat paint
pen. Apply 2-3 coats of
clearcoat using a light dabbing motion waiting 10-20 minutes in
between each coat. Be gentle with the tip because you do not want to
scratch the basecoat layer with the clearcoat pen. Wait one day to
use rubbing
compound to bring out a higher level of gloss. Do not wax the
repair for one month.
