Touching up paintwork
Paintwork
Paint is an important part of the car’s rust-
proofing and should therefore be checked
regularly. Repair paintwork damage immedi-
ately so that it does not start to rust. The most
common types of paintwork damage that you
can repair yourself are:
• Minor stone chips and scratches.
• Damage to wing edges and doors.
When repairing paintwork, the car should be
clean and dry with a temperature above
+15 °C.
Colour code
Make sure you have the right colour. The
colour code number is on the data plate in the
engine compartment.

the bare metal and an unpainted colour
coat remains, you can add paint immedi-
ately after removing dirt.
