Using this touch - up paint kit is a breeze. First, clean the area you want to repair to get rid of dirt and debris. Then, shake the paint bottle well for a couple of minutes. Apply the paint carefully to the small scratches or chips, using light and even strokes. Let it dry as per the instructions on the bottle. When it comes to the clear coat, if you've chosen the Clear Coat Kit option, apply it after the paint has dried for a nice, shiny finish. Now, for the notes: remember that due to vehicle paint fading, the color might vary a little from your car's actual paint. Also, make sure to work in a well - ventilated area. For maintenance, keep the paint and clear coat bottles tightly closed when not in use. Store them in a cool and dry place to make sure they stay in good condition for future touch - ups.
