How to use the touch-up paint bottles

  For general paint touch-ups, we recommend using spray paint.  

General Instructions for Paint Touch-ups

1. Touch-up bottles are fast dry enamel-based paints.
2. Before starting, make sure the metal surface is clean and free of grease.
3. IMPORTANT: Shake the bottle vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes before using the paint. You should hear the ball inside while you are shaking.
4. The temperature of the metal surface to which the paint will be applied must be above 10^oC (50^o F) and not in direct sunlight.
5. Apply one thin and even coat at a time. Multiple coats give better results than one thick coat.
6. Close the bottle as quickly as possible. The thinner in the paint is very volatile. Place it in a location that is not too humid, as humidity causes condensation to form in the bottle.
7. Every month, turn your bottles over: one month right-side up, one month upside down, so that the paint doesn't congeal in the bottle.
8. Do not store your bottles in a place where the temperature can drop below 10^oC (50^o F). Keep your bottles in a dry and temperature-controlled area.
9. Note: Ice White and TEX White (Top Tech) colors are almost identical.
10. The colors of touch-up paints always correspond to the original colors of the color samples provided by Garaga. Light and heat may have changed or faded the original color of your door. Run a test before using it (ex.: on the inside of the door).
