Procedure 1: For Small Applications (Dots or Ding Blemishes)
If repairing a small spot, like a dot or a ding type of damage:
1. Use black felt tip paint marker to dab paint onto scratch making sure paint completely covers scratch
and appears even.
2. Allow to completely dry; ideally a 24 to 48 hour cure time.
3. Repeat as needed.
Procedure 2: For Larger Applications (Long or Deep Scratches)
If repairing a scratch:
1. Use sandpaper 180 grit or finer to gently buff out the scratch until desired finish is achieved.
NOTE: The surface should be smooth and blend into the unaffected area to avoid creating a larger blemish.
NOTE: Scratch is removed by sanding it out completely. Paint only will not fill the scratch adequately.
2. Wipe away all debris from sanding.
3. With the scratch buffed out and the area free of debris, apply black spray paint evenly over the scratch.
4. Allow paint 24 to 48 hours to cure.
5. Repeat as needed. Damage may take several applications of paint to repair.
Using a larger grit sandpaper or sanding the scratch too firmly could cause greater damage
that may not be repairable.
