Car care
Touching up paintwork
Paintwork
Paint is an important part of the car’s
rustproofing and should therefore be
checked regularly. Repair paintwork damage
immediately so that it does not start to rust.
The most common types of paintwork
damage that you can repair yourself are:
• minor stone chips and scratches
• damage to wing edges and doors.
When repairing paintwork, the car should be
clean and dry with a temperature above
+15 °C.
Colour code
Make sure you have the right colour. The
colour code number is on the data plate in the
engine compartment.

Remove any paint residue with tape. Mask if
necessary.
Minor stone chips and scratches
Material:
• Primer in a can.
• Paint in a can or a touch-up pen.
• Brush.
• Masking tape.
• If the stone chip has not gone down to
the bare metal and an unpainted colour
coat remains, you can add paint immedi-
ately after removing dirt.
