The repair surface must be completely dry and clean. Remove all residual road grime, silicone detailing sprays, and car wax. For optimal adhesion, wipe the area down with a dedicated panel wipe or degreaser using a lint-free cloth. If the scratch has penetrated down to bare metal or plastic, apply a thin coat of the Carmeleon Primer using the precision applicator. Allow it to cure fully.

Vigorously shake your Colour-Matched paint pen for 2 to 3 minutes to guarantee that heavy pigments and metallic flakes are evenly suspended. Crucial Tip: Always test a tiny amount of paint inside a hidden area (such as an inner door shut) and allow it to dry for 15 minutes. Automotive basecoats settle to a flat matte appearance as they cure and will look visually lighter or darker until the gloss clear lacquer is introduced.
