Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to touch up a scratch or chip on your car's bodywork, integrating the video with some small tips. Clean the area to be touched up with a specific degreaser, then use very fine wet sandpaper to slightly bevel the edges and create a more receptive surface.

Dry thoroughly. Use a precision brush, which you can purchase from ilritocco.net. The precision brush is priced at £3.00: dip only the tip of the bristles in the paint and apply several very thin layers, allowing to dry well between each (about 15 minutes).

The goal is to fill the cavity without creating a droplet of paint above the level of the metal. After the paint is completely dry (24 hours), smooth the area with fine-grade polishing compound and finally apply a layer of wax or clear sealant.
