2. Apply Colorcoat
Using the pen
If this is the first time using the pen, the pen tip will not show any color until it has been primed.
- Using the pen, lightly dab paint onto the area to be repaired. Apply one coat evenly with this dabbing motion and allow it to dry for 15 minutes. Avoid applying paint outside the area to be repaired.
- Repeat step 2 until the repair area is evenly and thoroughly covered, usually 2-3 coats.
- Replace the cap tightly when finished. Make sure the cap is secured well for proper storage of the combo applicator before your next use.
Using the brush
- Remove excess paint by lightly dragging the brush along the inside opening as you remove it from the container.
- Apply evenly over the damaged area. Allow to dry for 15 minutes. Avoid applying paint outside the area to be repaired.
- Repeat step 2 until the repair area is evenly and thoroughly covered, usually 2-3 coats.
- Screw cap on tightly when finished. Make sure the cap is secured well for proper storage of the combo applicator before your next use.

3. Apply Clearcoat

- Clearcoat will be dry enough to handle within 30 minutes after last application. Allow to dry for a full 48 hours before wetsanding, polishing, or waxing.
