Directions for use
Panel Wipe 50ml with a de-greasing cloth
- Shake the Panel Wipe bottle gently and apply a small amount of solution onto the degreasing cloth.
- Wipe the panel or part thoroughly, covering the entire surface to remove grease, dirt, wax, or contaminants.
- Use the cloth’s crows-foot design for streak-free cleaning and to reach edges or tight spots.
- Replace the cloth if it becomes heavily soiled.
- Once clean, the surface is ready for primer or paint application.
PaintNuts Scratch & Scuff Remover, Microfibre Cloth & High Grade Polishing Pad
- Ensure the area is spotlessly clean, free of grease and other contaminants and dry
- The polishing pad can optionally be attached to a hand drill using a drill backing pad (sold separately). Please note: The white surface is to attach the polishing pad to a drill backing plate. The white surface is not for application of the compound. Do not apply polishing compound to the white surface and do not attempt to polish the paintwork with the white surface.
- Apply scratch and scuff paste to the yellow / orange compound polishing pad
- Appy even pressure and spread paste in a straight back and forth motion then up and down for around 15-30 seconds until the mark is diminished
- Stop once the scratch is removed or if the paint begins to fade.
- Remove all residue with the clean dry microfibre cloth
PaintNuts Grey Primer Pen
- Shake pen thoroughly for at least 60 seconds to ensure the primer is mixed correctly.
- The surface must be clean and dry - make sure all wax, polish and dust is removed. If rust is present we suggest a rust treatment as well.
- Using either pen or brush apply thin, light coats in smooth strokes; if you’re using the needle point pen allow the nib to sit in the scratch or chip and squeeze gently ensuring you only apply the primer witin the damaged area. Leave the primer to dry for 10-25 minutes before applying a second coat if required. Leave the primer to cure 24 hours before applying the colour matched paint.
Colour Matched Paint Pen
- Prepare & Clean: The surface must be clean and dry - make sure all wax, polish and grease is removed.
- Shake & Test:
- Shake the touch up car paint pen for 2-3 minutes to ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed. If your paint is metallic or pearlescent, you may notice it has separated within the bottle - this paint will need a vigorous shake, even leave it upside down for 5 minutes first.
- There are two ways to use the 20 ml paint touch up pen. The high-precision needle-like pen is inside the clear lid (with a red protective tip that stays inside the lid) – a firm pull will access this.
The small fine brush is within the paint – just unscrew at the white collar anticlockwise to access this. - Test a small amount of paint within the damaged area to check the colour match – give it 15 minutes to dry as paints can often appear different in colour inside the bottle, when still wet, if applied incorrectly or if applied on top of original undamaged paint.
- Paint & Finish:
- With either the pen nib or brush apply thin, light coats in smooth strokes; ensuring you only apply the paint within the damaged area.
If you’re using the needle point pen allow the nib to sit inside the scratch or chip and squeeze gently. If new paint goes outside of the damaged area and on top of existing paint it will leave the area of repair looking darker or raised to a higher level than the original bodywork. - Leave the paint to dry for 15 minutes before applying any further coats from the car touch up pen. If no further coat is required, then leave to cure for 1 hour before applying the PaintNuts Clear Lacquer.
PLEASE NOTE: – cold, damp weather can adversely affect the application, finish, and drying time of paints.
- With either the pen nib or brush apply thin, light coats in smooth strokes; ensuring you only apply the paint within the damaged area.
PaintNuts Clear Lacquer Pen
- Shake pen thoroughly for at least 60 seconds to ensure the lacquer is mixed correctly.
- The surface must be clean and dry - make sure all wax, polish and dust is removed.
- Using either pen or brush apply thin, light coats in smooth strokes; if you’re using the needle point pen allow the nib to sit in the scratch or chip and squeeze gently ensuring you only apply the lacquer witin the damaged area. Leave the lacquer to dry for 10-25 minutes before applying a second coat if required. Leave the lacquer to cure 24 hours before applying any polish.

Colour Matched Classic Touch Up Pen
Perfect bundle for the job
The PaintNuts classic touch-up paint pen is ideal for tackling minor scratches and small chips on your cherished classic vehicle. Below is our recommended step-by-step guide to help you apply touch-up paint with confidence and care.
For deeper scratches or exposed metal/plastic, we recommend applying PaintNuts Primer first. If rust is visible, use our Rust Converter to treat the area before painting.
How to use the PaintNuts Classic Car Paint Pen
- Mix and check
- Prepare the area
- Apply the products
- Mixing - Shake pen thoroughly for at least 1 minute to ensure the primer is mixed correctly.
- Preparation - The surface must be clean and dry - make sure all wax, polish and dust is removed. If rust is present we suggest a rust treatment as well.
- Application - Using either pen or brush apply thin, light coats in smooth strokes. If you’re using the needle point pen let the nib sit inside the scratch or chip and squeeze gently applying the primer only to the damaged area. Let the primer dry for up to 30 minutes before applying further coats. If no further coat is needed, allow it to cure for 1 full hour before applying your colour-matched paint.
- Mixing & Colour Check - Shake the paint pen for at least 3 minutes to ensure the paint is fully mixed. If your colour is metallic, the paint may separate in the pen– a vigorous shake is essential. Test the colour in a discreet area and allow it to dry for 10 minutes. Note that paint can appear different when wet, inside the pen, or if applied incorrectly.
- Preparation - The surface must be clean and dry - make sure all wax, polish and dust is removed.
- Application - Using either the metal nib/pen or brush apply thin, light coats in smooth strokes. If using the needle-point pen, place the nib inside the scratch or chip and squeeze gently, applying paint only to the damaged area. Do not apply new paint on top of semi-dried paint, as this can cause a mismatched finish. Allow the colour-matched paint to dry for up to 30 minutes before applying another coat. If no further coat is needed, allow it to cure for one full hour before applying the clear lacquer.
- Mixing - Shake the pen thoroughly for at least 1 minute to ensure the lacquer is properly mixed.
- Preparation - The surface must be clean and dry - make sure all wax, polish and dust is removed.
- Application - Using either the pen or brush, apply thin, light coats in smooth strokes. If using the needle-point pen, place the nib inside the scratch or chip and squeeze gently, applying lacquer only within the damaged area. Leave the lacquer to dry for up to 30 minutes before applying a second coat if required. If no further coat is needed, allow the lacquer to cure for 4 hours before using any buffing or polishing compound.
