Scratches

[FlameR]

Hi everyone. Noticed quite a few scratches on my car not had it too long. I was just wondering where to get some touch up paint. My local halfrauds does this 3 pen set for a renault flame red, will this stuff be any good?? Not sure why it had 3 pens in it or what each one does?

Primer, Base Coat and Laquer, hence the 3 pens.

Try it in a hidden area first.

Cheers for the advice. I will get some this weekend. Hope it works.
If it's a different shade I'm not going to be happy. Should be alright though as it does asy Renault Flame Red

colour match polish + chip stick (crayon)works well with 2 applications

try that first!

when doing little marks (like stone chips) use a tooth pick / cocktail stick.

Fine 000 artists paint brushes also work well.

can i just ask guys does it make a real difference by applying primer then the colour and then laquer to the overall finish..why not just put the paint on? cheers thanks

Do you guys suggest thoroughly cleaning to car before applying any primer/base coat or laquer to the scratched surfaces? Do you know how long it takes to fully dry?

If it is deep you may need the primer. Normal chips I just use the colour. Never bother with the laquer.

anyone know where i can get a touch up kit other than halfords, my paint code is 632, its silver with a tint of blue but halfords didnt have it listed in their books. i thought it was moondust silver but now imnot so sure.

I always buy the touch ups from Renault or get the piant made up a the local motorfactors.

The halfords flame red isn't that good a match tbh.
