Ready-mixed touch-up pen in RAL 9005 Jet Black, available in matt or gloss. For repairing scratches, chips and small paint damage on powder-coated and painted surfaces. No mixing required, ready to use immediately.

How do I use a touch-up pen correctly?

1. Clean the area with water and soap, then let it dry
2. Degrease with alcohol or a degreasing agent, then let it dry again
3. For deeper damage: roughen with fine sandpaper, remove all rust completely, wipe away dust and rust particles with alcohol
4. Shake the pen vigorously before use, until the mixing ball rattles
5. Apply the paint (brush for larger areas, tip for precise spots), apply twice with a 10-minute drying interval in between
6. Allow at least 24 hours to fully cure before polishing or further treating the area

Which is better, a touch-up pen or touch-up spray?

It depends on the size of the damage. A touch-up pen is best suited to small, localised damage such as scratches and stone chips, where a precise, controlled amount of paint is needed. Touch-up spray covers larger, continuous areas more evenly, but on small spots it creates unnecessary overspray and requires masking the surrounding area. For classic touch-ups on fences, gates or fittings, the touch-up pen is the more practical choice.

How long does a touch-up pen take to dry?

Touch-dry after around 10 minutes, fully cured after 24 hours. Actual drying time depends on coat thickness, temperature and humidity. Allow more time in cooler temperatures or high humidity. Always wait the full 24 hours before polishing or further treatment.

How accurate is the colour match with touch-up pens?

For quick, ad-hoc corrections that aren't noticeable from normal viewing distance, they're a reliable and fast solution. Viewed very closely, even the best-matching shade may differ slightly from the original. This is due to the nature of manual application, not the quality of the paint.

Can you paint over powder coating?

Yes. The touch-up pen adheres to already powder-coated surfaces and can be applied directly for localised repairs. For larger or deeper damage, we recommend roughening the surface beforehand for better adhesion. The touch-up pen is not designed for full recoating — for that, standard powder coating is required.
