Prepping for Touch Up Paint

[jsoto]

Is this the recommended way in order to get touch up paint to bond best to the paint



Wet Sand Area. Alcohol clean the area.

Is it worth getting a small pint ( or whatever is the smallest bottle) of PPG Prep Solution....

Close. *I* would FIRST clean the area with a wax/grease/whatever removing solvent (like PrepSol or your PPG product) so you don't somehow rub/sand something (that will compromise adhesion) down into the paint.



So it's basically: Clean per usual, then clean the area with solvent. Scuff with abrasive/derust. Clean again and rust convert if needed. THEN start your touching up.



So YES, get the small can of prepping solvent. Handy stuff to have around.
