Repairing minor paint damage
Your authorized dealer has touch-up paint to match your vehicle’s color.
Take your color code (printed on a sticker in the driver’s door jamb) to your authorized dealer to make sure you get the correct color.
• Remove particles, such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar spots,
road salt and industrial fallout, before repairing paint chips.
• Always read the instructions before using the products.
