Cars painted pre 1970 will have been painted in a Cellulose paint that is very soft and whilst the Chipex paint can be used the blending solution can affect the paintwork as this type of paint is very soft and it is not recommended. Most classic / vintage cars have generally been repainted in modern paint so this is not applicable.

When cars are painted they are finally sprayed with a clear coat lacquer to create a protective shield to the paint as well as giving it a shine. If the vehicle is lightly scratched in the clear coat it can look far worse than it really is as the clear coat lacquer will go opaque / white in color. In many cases you can either use a rubbing compound or take the car to a body shop where they will use a buffing machine to remove this damage. In cases where the damage cannot be removed by a rubbing compound you can carefully apply a small quantity of paint into the damaged area and then remove the excess with the Chipex™ polish which has a mild rubbing compound in it.

It is important to thoroughly wash and clean the area you are going to repair and remove any residual polish or wax that could be present within the damaged area. You can remove wax/polish by using the blending solution provided or white spirits/alcohol wipes. The paint does not adhere well to polish or wax so this is important.

Heavily keyed paint work is difficult to repair and where the car has been vandalised down the side with a very long key mark it is recommended that you take the car to a body shop. However if you wish to mask the damage you can use the kit to achieve this, however it will not be an invisible repair and will still be noticeable.
