Touching Up A Few (Small/Large) Scrapes On Car?
Posted: April 8th, 2024, 9:25 am
Someone must have caught it and I hadn't noticed so no idea on when it happened but it must have been a bit ago as it is rusty coloured now. It has annoyingly caught multiple panels in multiple places.
I would like to protect them the best I can and I am not that concerned about getting a perfect finish and the dents can just be left where the paint hasn't split.
It is an oldish car that I am not planning on selling - it will probably be my last car.
Some of the areas are quite large where the paint has flaked off so multiple touch up pens is probably not the answer.
I can't remember exactly but it is a fancy metallic type of finish.
A perfect finish it not what I after I just want to protect and stop it from going rusty.
If I wanted to mask off and spray what would the procedure be regarding preparation, rust prevention, undercoat, paint and protection?
Is "sandpaper" affected areas, rust prevent and then going to a paint specialist and getting primer, colour match spray paint in aerosol and lacquer enough?
Thanks
