Touch-Up

Air-drying touch-up paints have different weathering characteristics from the baked-on finish of pre-painted coating systems, and variations in natural light conditions will emphasise these differences, producing an unacceptable aesthetic appearance.

Spray cans should not be used for repairing scratches on pre-painted sheeting.

If the scratch is obvious from 3 m, the sheeting should be replaced; if not, then it should be left alone. Minor surface scratches become less noticeable as the coating weathers and are best left as they do not appreciably affect the corrosion-inhibiting properties of the material.

Widespread damage caused by rough handling or an accident, however, should not be corrected by repainting; instead, the affected material should be replaced.
