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

1. Clean the area thoroughly. Remove any dirt, wax or debris before you start.

2. For deeper chips or scratches showing bare metal, apply primer first and treat any rust before painting.

3. Apply the paint in thin coats using the pen tip or brush. Let each coat dry for around 25 minutes before applying the next.

4. Once the final colour coat is dry (leave at least 24 hours), apply a lacquer coat for gloss and protection.

5. 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.

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.
