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.

Mercedes Benz Paint Code Location

Finding your Mercedes paint code is easy, and is usually located in the driver's-side door jamb. However, on some Mercedes models the paint code may be in a different location. If this is the case, other areas to look for your Mercedes paint code include:

On the inner door frame/ A-post or hinge area
Under bonnet: suspension mount/ inner wing
Under bonnet: bulk head/ back of engine
Under bonnet: front/slam panel

How to Apply Mercedes Touch Up Paint?

You can choose to have your Mercedes touch-up paint as either a touch-up paint pen, bottle and brush, or car spray paint. The option you choose will determine how you apply the paint.

Mercedes Touch-Up Paint Pen

First make sure the surface of your paintwork is clean and dry. Next, mix the paint in the touch-up pen by shaking it for 60 seconds, before applying it to the scratch in thin layers. If applying more than one coat of paint, you should wait 10-25 minutes between coats and 24 hours after the final coat before adding polish or lacquer.

Mercedes Touch-Up Bottle & Brush

Clean the surface of your bodywork, smooth the surface with sandpaper and apply primer if needed. To ensure the paint is sufficiently mixed, shake the touch-up bottle for 2-3 minutes and test the colour. If the paint is correct, apply it in thin coats, leaving 10-15 minutes between each coat. After you have applied the final paint layer, leave it to cure for 1 hour before polishing or adding lacquer.

Mercedes Touch-Up Spray Paint

First clean the surface of your paintwork and make sure it’s smooth. Check the colour of your Mercedes spray paint by shaking it for 2-3 minutes before spraying a small amount on a piece of card or other surface that’s not your car. If it’s the correct paint colour, apply it to the scratched area in cross-coats from 250mm away. Apply as many coats as needed, allowing 15 minutes between each coat for the paint to dry. If you’re using lacquer, wait 24 hours after the final coat before using it. Clean the aerosol nozzle by spraying it upside-down after use.

How do I repair a scratch on my Mercedes?

To repair a scratch on your Mercedes, make sure you have the following items:

Polishing compound like PaintNuts Scratch & Scuff Remover
Paint touch-up pen that is colour-matched to your Mercedes paintwork
A Microfibre buffing cloth

Start by cleaning the scratched area and then apply the polishing compound with the Microfibre cloth. You may find the scratch disappears after this point, especially if it’s a faint or minor scratch. If the scratch is still present, you will need to use the Mercedes touch-up pen as well.

To paint over the scratch with the touch-up pen, make sure the bodywork surface is clean. Now apply the touch-up paint over the scratch in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry for 25 minutes.

Wait 24 hours after applying the final coat, then blend the new paint with the rest of the paintwork by adding some lacquer or polishing compound. See our step-by-step guide on using our touch-up pen for more information.
