Varnish check

Maintenance work

Damage to the lacquer from stone impact must be repaired before rust deposits spread to these areas. For these purposes, the so-called spot varnish is best suited, which can be bought in small bottles along with a brush.

If the area with damaged varnish is already covered with rust, then remove it by grinding - depending on the volume - with a pencil with fiberglass rubber, emery or an angle grinder with an electric drive.

Apply a primer before varnishing.

Tip: for more information about the care of the varnish coating, its repair and the body as a whole, see our separate volume No. 175 called «car body».
