How to Retouch and Repair Car Paint

No matter what you do, there will always be an occasion where your car can be dinged. When this happens, the paint on the body can be chipped. Taking your car into an auto body shop could cost you a lot of money. You can touch up the paint on your car with little hassle and save the money you would have spent on an auto body shop.

Instructions

    1

    Open your driver side door and check the sticker to get your paint color.

    2

    Write the vehicle identification number down if you cant find the paint color for your car. A dealer will be able to tell you the paint color via the VIN.

    3

    Buy the paint from an online retailer or an auto paint shop.

    4

    Clean the ding on your car using soap and water. Use a towel to dry the ding.

    Retouch the paint if needed.
