Touching up paintwork
Paintwork
Paint is an important part of the car’s rust-
proofing and should therefore be checked
regularly. Repair paintwork damage immedi-
ately so that it does not start to rust. The most
common types of paintwork damage that you
can repair yourself are:
Minor stone chips and scratches.
Damage to wing edges and doors.
When repairing paintwork, the car should be
clean and dry with a temperature above
+15 °C.
Colour code
Make sure you have the right colour. The
colour code number is on the data plate in the
engine compartment.
Variant 1
Variant 2

If the stone chip has not gone down to
the bare metal and an unpainted colour
coat remains, you can add paint immedi-
ately after removing dirt.
