🛠️ ProTone Touch-Up Guide: 9 Easy Steps for a Seamless Finish

🛠️ ProTone Touch-Up Guide: 9 Easy Steps for a Seamless Finish

  1. Clean the Area
    Wash the surface with soap and water, then dry it fully. Use rubbing alcohol to remove any residual grease or wax for a clean base.
  2. Sand the Scratch
    Gently sand the scratch using 2000-grit paper. This helps the paint adhere better. Sand lightly — just enough to smooth the edges.
  3. Apply Primer (if needed)
    For deeper scratches down to bare metal, apply a thin coat of primer using the pen. Let it dry fully before continuing.
  4. Shake the Touch-Up Pen
    Shake vigorously to mix the paint. This ensures even colour and consistent flow.
  5. Apply the Touch-Up Paint
    Apply thin coats to the scratch using the pen. Let each layer dry before adding the next for a smooth, even finish.
  6. Apply Clear Coat (if included)
    Once the paint is dry, apply the clear coat to seal and add gloss protection.
  7. Let it Dry
    Allow the paint to cure fully. This can take several hours — don’t rush it.
  8. Polish the Area
    Use a polishing compound and a soft cloth to gently buff the repair into the surrounding paint.
  9. Wax the Area
    Finish with a coat of wax to protect the repair and restore the shine.
