What You'll Need
Before you start, you’ll need to gather a few supplies. You’ll need the Quixx paint repair pen, a clean cloth, and some rubbing alcohol. You might also want to have some painter’s tape on hand to protect the surrounding area.
Step 1: Preparing the Area
The first step is to make sure the area is clean and free of dust or debris. Use the rubbing alcohol and the clean cloth to gently wipe away any dirt or grime. Make sure the area is completely dry before you move on to the next step.
Step 2: Applying the Paint
Once the area is clean, you can begin applying the paint. Shake the pen for a few seconds to make sure the paint is mixed properly and then press the tip onto the damaged area. Gently press the pen and move it around in a circular motion until the paint starts to come out. Continue applying the paint until the area is completely covered and the paint is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Finishing Up
Once you’ve applied the paint, let it dry for at least an hour. This will ensure that the paint has time to set and won’t smudge or run. After the paint has dried, you can finish up by applying a clear coat of sealer to protect the area and give it a glossy finish.
