AH98.00-P-9409-06SM General Notes On Touch-up Applicators And Paint Spray Cans


Touch-up paint pens and paint spray cans are only suitable for temporarily touching up minor paint damage such as stone marks or scratches. They must not be used on the MB original paintwork repairs on the outer skin, since it is not possible to restore the original condition using this method.
