ABSTRACT:
A method for repairing damaged metal surfaces. A marred painted surface, for example the painted sheet metal forming automobile or truck bodies, which has been damaged by scratching or chipping of the paint to expose metals, is touched up so as to renew the continuous painted appearance and to prevent corrosion of the exposed metal by applying touch-up paint to the marred metal surface, and rubbing the marred surface and the immediately surrounding unmarred finished surface with a soft, flexible sheet material which has been wetted with a touch-up paint solvent composition, to remove the excess paint inadvertently spread over the old finish surrounding the scratch or chip. The flexible sheet material with the solvent is rubbed over the touched-up area only after the touch-up paint has partially set, generally from about 1 to about 15 minutes after application. The solvent composition comprises a paraffinic liquid solvent, and optionally a stronger, more active solvent selected from the group of lower alkyl-substituted benzene and oxygenated aliphatic and cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon compounds and halogen substituted such compounds.
