Using this touch - up paint kit is easy. First, clean the area with scratches or chips on your car. Make sure it's dry and free of dirt. Then, shake the paint bottle well. Apply the paint carefully to the damaged area using the included applicator. Do thin coats and let each coat dry before adding the next one. For a better finish, consider using the Clear Coat Kit. Just apply it after the paint has fully dried. As for precautions, remember that the color might vary a bit due to paint fading on your vehicle. Keep the paint away from children and in a cool, dry place. To maintain the painted area, avoid washing your car for at least 24 hours after applying the paint. After that, wash it gently and wax it regularly to protect the paint.
