The touch up primer also comes with a super fine detailing brush on the inside of the paint below the pen.
The anti-corrosive primer is recommended to help with adhesion for the paint as well as bringing the damage back to that of the level of the original paint work.

PaintNuts Clear Lacquer Touch Up Pen
PaintNuts professional quality precision clear lacquer touch-up pens provide a high gloss clear protective coating.
This is the final stage of the touch up process, and the lacquer will help to give your touch up the same finish as the existing paint work and bring out the colour especially for metallics and pearlescent paints.
PaintNuts Professional Scratch & Scuff Remover
PaintNuts Professional Scratch & Scuff Remover uses the latest technology in polishing compounds, specially developed for permanently removing light scratches, scuffs and sanding marks within the first layer of the topcoat paint or lacquer, the compound will also diminish the look of deeper defects.
Safe to use on all paintwork including metallics and pearlescent paints. The compound is also specially developed to be used in conjunction with PaintNuts colour matched paints as a final finish to assist in blending the repaired paintwork and diminish any defects.

Perfect product for the job
he PaintNuts touch-up paint pen is perfect for repairing small chips and light scratches on your car's paintwork. Follow the steps below to apply it correctly and achieve a smooth, lasting finish. For deeper damage, especially where bare metal or plastic is exposed, use PaintNuts Primer first, and treat any rust with our Rust Converter before painting.
How to use the PaintNuts Touch Up Pen
- Mix and check
- Prepare the area
- Apply the products
- Mixing - Shake the primer pen well for at least 1 minute to ensure the formula is fully blended.
- Preparation - Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free from wax, polish, and dust. If rust is present, treat it first with a suitable rust converter.
- Application - Apply thin, even coats using the brush or needle-point tip. For precision, gently press the nib into the scratch or chip and squeeze lightly, applying primer only to the damaged area. Let dry for up to 30 minutes between coats. If no additional coat is needed, allow 1 hour of curing time before applying the colour.
- Shake & test - Shake the pen vigorously for at least 3 minutes. Metallic paints may appear separated and require extra mixing. Test the colour in a discreet area and let it dry for 10 minutes, as paint may look different wet or inside the bottle.
- Surface prep - The area must be clean and dry with no wax, polish, or debris remaining.
- Apply the paint - Use the brush or needle tip to apply thin, smooth layers directly into the chip or scratch. Avoid painting over partially dried coats to prevent uneven colour. Let each coat dry for up to 30 minutes. Once the final coat is applied, leave to cure for 1 hour before proceeding with lacquer.
- Mixing - Shake the lacquer pen thoroughly for at least 1 minute to activate the formula.
- Prep the surface - Ensure the painted area is clean and dry, with no residue left behind.
- Application - Apply light, even coats using the brush or precision tip. Gently squeeze the pen to fill only the repaired area. Let the lacquer dry for up to 30 minutes between coats. If no second coat is needed, allow to cure for 4 hours before buffing or polishing.
Perfect for stone chips
FAQs
What’s the correct way to use a paint pen on a car scratch?
Here’s a quick how-to for using our paint pens to touch up small scratches on your vehicle:
Shake the pen vigorously for about a minute to thoroughly mix the lacquer.
Make sure the area is clean, dry, and free from any polish, wax, or dust before starting.
Apply in light, even layers with smooth strokes. For pens with a needlepoint tip, gently squeeze to guide the lacquer into the damaged area.
Wait 10 to 25 minutes for the paint to dry before adding a second coat if needed.
Once finished, leave it to cure for 24 hours. After that, you can use a product like our Scratch & Scuff Remover to help blend the repair into the surrounding paintwork.
For detailed instructions, you can download our complete step-by-step guide on using touch-up pens.
How do I get the repair to blend with the rest of the paintwork?
Touch-up pens are designed to match your car’s colour precisely using your paint code or reg number. However, older cars may have experienced some colour fade over time, so the fresh paint may look slightly brighter. To help smooth everything out, follow up with a finishing product such as PaintNuts Professional Scratch & Scuff Remover. It’s great for helping repairs blend in naturally.
How does the Scratch & Scuff Remover work?
PaintNuts Scratch & Scuff Remover is a fast-acting polishing compound designed to permanently remove light scratches, scuffs, and sanding marks from the top layer of paint or lacquer.
Safe for all paint types, including metallic and pearlescent, it works by gently cutting into the surface to smooth out imperfections. Simply clean the area, apply the compound with an applicator pad using firm, even pressure, then buff off the residue with a microfibre cloth. Results are visible in under 60 seconds.
For deeper scratches that catch your fingernail, follow up with a colour-matched touch-up paint for a complete repair.
Can you colour match pearlescent paints?
Yes, we can match the vast majority of pearlescent and metallic paints, and we’re able to mix around 99% of pearlescent paint codes. That said, a small number of tri-coat systems aren’t suitable for single-stage application. To check if your colour is available, simply search using your registration number or specific paint code.
