If you notice scratches or small areas of damage that pertain to the paint on your car, then consider applying touch up paint instead of painting your entire car. You want to make sure the surface is clean before applying the paint so that there is no dirt or debris that could stand out. Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT of Eugene can clean your car with the proper materials if you don't have them on hand so that it's as clean as possible.
When applying touch up paint, you want to make sure the temperature is warm but not hot. You should also apply the paint in conditions that aren't humid as the paint could drip down the surface or not adhere to the surface.
Try to buff the area before painting. If you notice that the area has rust on it, then you might want to take it to a dealership in Eugene, OR so that someone can apply bonding materials before painting. After painting, you can apply wax and polish to protect the surface.
