Apply Automotive Primer

For Best Results:

PREPARE surface by removing dirt, grease, wax, moisture, rust and loose
paint. Thoroughly sand or scuffs and rusted, glossy or hard surfaces. Prime
bare and sanded metal or plastic with primer. Protect adjacent surfaces from
overspray. Use in room temperature 70° for best operation. Shake can for two
minutes after the ball inside begins to rattle. Spray 10 to 12 in from the
surface in a sweeping motion with a can held upright. Avoid drips or runs by
applying several light coats instead of one heavy coat. To prevent
wrinkling or lifting, recoat within 2 hours or wait 5 days for thorough curing. Clean
the spray valve immediately after use by turning can upside down and
spraying until only gas comes out. If the valve becomes clogged clean orifice
with lacquer thinner. Do not stick pins, wires, etc. into can opening. Do not
incinerate, burn, or place empty can in-home compactor.

I FOUND THE PAINT CODE ON YOUR SITE, BUT SAW A DIFFERENT COLOR NAME ELSEWHERE. ARE THEY THE SAME COLOR?

It isn’t common practice – but it isn’t uncommon either – for a car manufacturer to use the same color name for different colors.  For example, a car manufacturer may have a color called “Cherry Red” in 2018, but in 2019 they make a slight alteration to the color making it a little bit brighter.  Although they keep the same color name in 2019, and the difference is hard to notice, the actual color may be different.  While the color name will stay the same, the color code will change to reflect the new color designation.

When placing your touch up paint order make sure you select color based of your vehicles paint code not color name. The same color name can be used in different paint formulas by car manufacturers.

 

HOW CAN I FIND THE EXACT COLOR OF MY CAR?

To find the Paint code of your vehicle, you can take a look at the Compliance / Manufacturer’s / Identification Plate, which should be somewhere on your automobile. It is roughly the size of a credit card, and the Paint code is referred to as “Paint” or “Ext. Color”. Find out how to locate that code here.
