Uses for Touch-up Paint

Home Maintenance

• Everyday wear and tear on your home often leads to paint chipping, scratches to walls and siding damage. Instead of completely tearing down your siding or repainting an entire wall, you can use touch-up paint on just the affected area. As with many touch-up paint jobs, priming the area that needs repair is not usually necessary. The touch-up paint will simply adhere to affected area, bonding with the surface. What you are left with is a like-new appearance, without having to call in a construction crew.

Automotive Care

• Cars get scrapes, dings and scratches all the time, even when you use the vehicle infrequently. You may be a good driver, but what you cannot control are weather conditions and other drivers. When you get a scratch on your car, your first instinct may be to take it to an automotive repair shop and pay them to buff the scratch out. Touch-up paint will allow you to cover scratches that have removed the top layer of clear coat and paint. This can save you hundreds of dollars in repair costs.

Furniture Wear

• We use our furniture every day, and each time we use it we increase the chances of scraping or even breaking it. When minor damage occurs, touch-up paint will allow you to hide scratches and nicked paint. After applying the touch-up paint, you can use a clear coat touch-up spray or pen to return the furniture's finish to its natural look.

Artwork

• One area where touch-up paint is usually not used, but could be used much more often, is with artwork. For amateur artists, home paintings can become faded or scratched. Applying color matched touch-up paint will give you an alternative to completely starting your painting or drawing over again. Make sure you use touch-up paint designed for whichever medium you are using, as metal paint may not give your artwork the effect you may be looking for.
