How to Use PaintNuts Car Touch-Up Paint

PaintNuts touch-up paint is designed to be straightforward to use, even if you've never done it before. Most repairs, chips, scratches and scuffs, can be completed at home in under an hour.

What you can repair

Stone chips
Scratches and fine scuffs
Light scrapes and grazes
General road wear

Step-by-step application

Clean the area thoroughly. Remove any dirt, wax or debris before you start.
For deeper chips or scratches showing bare metal, apply primer first and treat any rust before painting.
Apply the paint in thin coats using the pen tip or brush. Let each coat dry for around 25 minutes before applying the next.
Once the final colour coat is dry (leave at least 24 hours), apply a lacquer coat for gloss and protection.
Polish the area to blend the repair into the surrounding paintwork. The PaintNuts Scratch and Scuff Remover works well here. Skip this step for matte finishes.

Full step-by-step instructions are included with every kit. For more detail, visit our how-to guides or check the FAQ page if you have a specific question.

FAQ: PaintNuts vs bodyshop - which is better value?

For minor car paint damage, chips, scratches and scuffs, PaintNuts is considerably better value. A bodyshop typically charges £60 to £210 for a small scratch repair and up to £1,200 or more for a full panel respray. PaintNuts touch-up pens start from £13.99. A complete aerosol kit with primer, paint, and lacquer is £40 to £50.

The bodyshop will always produce the most flawless result, but for everyday cosmetic repairs it's rarely worth the cost. PaintNuts gives you a custom-matched colour, professionally formulated paint, and results that genuinely blend in, for a fraction of the price.

Find your KIA Paint Code

Finding your Kia paint code is quick and easy, and can be done in a variety of ways. The first place to look for your Kia colour code would be the driver’s side door frame, as this is a common location for Kia to place the car paint code. However, this isn’t always the case. Other places on your Kia that may hold the paint colour code include:

Boot lid
Under the bonnet
Driver’s side door frame

Still can’t find your Kia car paint code?

Simply, enter your registration in the search bar below and we'll find the exact match paint for your Kia.

KDG (Gravity Grey)
YQM/YQ (Quantum Yellow)

We can also match your car touch up paint to the exact colour name. For example:

Runway Red
Midnight Black
Yacht Blue

How to use Kia touch-up paint? (FAQ)

Kia touch-up paint is simple and easy to use regardless of whether you use it as a touch-up paint pen, bottle and brush, or car spray paint. Follow the guidance below for the correct use of each.

How to use the Kia touch-up paint pen?

We’ve designed our Kia touch-up paint pen for easy application to scratched bodywork. To repair a scratch using our Kia touch-up paint pen, follow these steps:

Clean and dry your Kia’s paintwork.
After drying and using a Microfibre cloth, wipe the paintwork. This removes any dust that can ruin the touch-up repair.
Thoroughly mix the paint in your touch-up pen by shaking it for 60 seconds.
Gently squeeze the paint over the repair area to apply the first layer.
Wait 10-25 minutes for the paint to dry, before applying the second coat if needed. You may need several paint coats depending on the damage.
This step is optional. Add a polishing compound like PaintNuts Scratch & Scuff Remover or lacquer to finish the repair.

How to use the Kia touch-up bottle & brush?

Ideal for touching up paint chips, scuffs and scratches, our Kia touch-up bottle & brush is simple and easy to use. To touch-up your Kia scuff, scratch or chip, see the following steps:

Check the damaged area for rough patches using your hand. If it needs smoothing out, then do so with sandpaper. If metal or rust shows in the scratch, you should apply primer at this stage.
Ensure the paint in the touch-up bottle is thoroughly mixed by shaking it for 2-3 minutes.
Check the paint matches your bodywork by brushing a small amount of paint onto a surface that isn’t your car.
Apply the first touch-up paint layer to the damaged area. You may need to add more than one paint coat, in which case, wait 10-25 minutes between coats for drying.
When you’ve applied the final paint layer, leave it to cure for 1 hour.
If needed and to finish, polish with PaintNuts Scratch and Scuff Remover, or add lacquer.

How to use Kia touch-up aerosol?

To touch up your car paintwork using PaintNuts Kia touch-up aerosol, follow these steps:

Clean and dry the damaged area. After drying, use a Microfibre cloth to remove any dust.
Feel the damaged area with your hand and check for roughness. If needed, smooth the area with wet and dry sandpaper.
If you see metalwork or rust in the scratch, use PaintNuts primer aerosol first and then wait 24 hours after application before moving on to the next step.
Thoroughly mix the touch-up paint by shaking the aerosol for at least 2 minutes.
Apply the touch-up aerosol in smooth cross-coats, keeping a distance of 250mm from the scratch or scuff.
Apply subsequent layers of paint if needed, leaving 15 minutes drying time between applications.
Following the final coat, spray the aerosol upside down to ensure the nozzle is clean.
Wait 24 hours for the touch-up paint to harden, before blending in the repair with a polishing compound like PaintNuts Scratch & Scuff Remover, if needed.

South Korean automotive manufacturer Kia is the country’s second largest car manufacturer. Founded in 1944 as a producer of steel tubing and bicycle parts, Kia dabbled in several industries before settling with manufacturing cars in 1974. After a hiatus from producing cars in the first half of the 1980s, Kia returned to the scene in partnership with Ford in 1986.

Now owned by Hyundai Motor Company since the 90s, Kia focuses primarily on selling cars to the European market and produces a range of popular models such as the Picanto, Sportage and Sorento.
