Using this touch up paint kit is easy. First, clean the area with scratches or chips thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Shake the paint bottle well for at least a minute. Then, apply the paint carefully to the damaged area with the included applicator. Make sure to apply thin, even coats. Let each coat dry for the recommended time before applying the next one. When using the Clear Coat Kit, follow the same process after the paint has fully dried. As for precautions, remember that due to vehicle paint fading, the color might vary slightly from your car's actual paint. Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For maintenance, keep your car clean and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the paint. If you have any more questions, our customer service team is always here to help.
