How to Apply Touch-Up Paint (Step-by-Step Guide)
How do I apply Paint2Fix touch-up paint?
Clean and dry the area, apply a small amount of paint using the micro brush, allow it to dry, then refine high spots using the remover. Full instructions are included with every kit.
Do I need to sand before applying touch-up paint?
No sanding is necessary for small scratches and chips. Only clean, dry, and lightly degreased surfaces are required.
Can I fix scratches in cold weather?
You should apply Paint2Fix between 10°C–30°C (50°F–86°F). Colder temperatures slow the drying process.
Can I use the remover immediately after painting?
Allow the paint to set for a few minutes before using the remover to refine the finish.
Do I need gloves during application?
Yes. Paint2Fix includes protective gloves to keep your hands clean and safe during the process.
Finding Your Exact Color Code
Where can I find my vehicle’s color code?
The color code is typically located on the driver-side door frame, inside the hood, or inside the trunk. Every vehicle brand labels it differently.
Is the paint name important?
No. The paint name often varies by market or model year. The paint code is the only accurate reference for matching your vehicle color.
Can Paint2Fix help identify my color code?
Yes. You can send us a clear photo of the factory label, and our support team will assist you.
What if my code has multiple variations?
Some colors have A/B variations. Paint2Fix formulas account for these differences when preparing your paint.
What if I cannot find the color code anywhere?
Check the owner’s manual, service booklet, or contact your dealership with your VIN number.
