How to use the Citroen touch-up paint pen?

- Shake your Citroen touch-up paint pen so the paint is mixed.
- Carefully squeeze the paint pen over the scratch so the paint covers it.
- After applying the first paint layer, wait 10-25 minutes for the paint to dry. Depending on the damage, you may need to add additional coats.
- After applying the final coat, wait 24 hours for it to dry completely.
- Optional - finish the repair by adding PaintNuts Scratch and Scuff Remover or lacquer to help blend in the repair, if needed.

How to use the Citroen touch-up bottle & brush?
Here’s how to use our Citroen touch-up bottle & brush for touching up paint chips, scuffs and scratches:
- Feel the damaged area with your hand and check it’s free of rough patches. If necessary, smooth it with sandpaper. If you notice metal or rust showing in the scratch, apply primer.
- Shake the touch-up bottle for 2-3 minutes so the paint is mixed properly.
- Check the paint matches your paintwork by brushing a small amount on a surface that’s not your car and compare. Note - some car paints fade over time, particularly red paint. If this is the case, your touch-up paint may appear more vibrant than the original paintwork.
- Apply the first touch-up paint layer to the damaged area. You may need to add more than one paint coat. If this is the case, wait 10-25 minutes drying time between coats.
- After the final paint coat, leave the paint to harden for 1 hour.
- To finish, polish the area with PaintNuts Scratch and Scuff Remover (or similar), or add lacquer, if needed.
PaintNuts Citroen touch-up bottle and brush contains 50ml of touch-up paint, which means there’s enough for several applications.
How to use the Citroen touch-up paint aerosol?
To touch up a scratch, scuff or chip with our touch-up aerosol, follow the steps below:

- From 250mm distance, spray the aerosol over the repair in smooth cross-coats, leaving 15 minutes of drying time between coats.
- Spray the touch-up aerosol upside-down to clean the nozzle.
