Paint - spray can  
Masking tape 
Note: When touching up the car, it should be well cleaned and dry and have a temperature exceeding 60°
F (+15°C). 
When large surfaces have to be repainted, suitably mask the surrounding area with masking tape and 
paper.  
Remove this masking as soon as the final coat has been sprayed on, before the paint dries.  
1. Remove loose flakes of paint with masking tape.  
2. Move the spray can slowly and regularly from side to side, about 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) from the 
surface. 
 
WARNING! Spray painting should be done in a well-ventilated and dust-free 
area. 
 
3. When the primer has dried apply the surface enamel in the same way. Spray on several times and 
allow the paint to dry a minute or so between each application.
