How to apply your touch-up paint
Thank you for choosing Color N Drive — a custom-matched blend that gives anyone a professional-looking repair on their HONDA at home, with quick drying and a perfect factory match. Follow the four steps below.
Touch up in 4 steps
Clean
Prep the chip with Correct'N'Clear. The surface must be clean and dry.
Touch Up
Apply your colour-matched paint into the damage in thin layers.
Scrape
Glide the card flat to remove excess — paint stays inside the scratch.
Finish
Wipe remaining excess with Correct'N'Clear, then polish to blend.

Correct'N'Clear — your safety net
Unless your car is new, the colour may not match perfectly at first — factory paint fades over time. Build the paint up until the tone is right; Correct'N'Clear safely removes the touch-up at any time, so you can work with confidence and no risk.
Application steps
- 1
Clean
Remove all dirt, wax and polish with Correct'N'Clear, then let it dry.
- 2
Apply
With the micro-brush, lay the paint into the chip in thin layers — build up gradually, don't flood it.
- 3
Scrape & level
While wet, glide the Color N Drive card flat like a spatula to lift the excess; paint stays packed in the scratch. No card? Any rigid business card works.

Wipe
Once dry, run a little Correct'N'Clear over the area with the towel. Don't press hard — let the solution work. Repeat until only the filled scratch remains.
Cosmetic finishing (optional)
- Paste
- Abrasive-free; softens the colour transition around the repair.
- Wax
- Buff the whole panel for the most even, consistent shine.
Tips
- Shake the bottle well before each use to avoid blobs.
- Deep chips: repeat the application a few times for a full fill.
- Freshly repainted panel? Let it cure ~1 month first.
- No pressure-washing for at least 1 week after application.
Two identical bottles → Pro kit
Same paint in both — use one, keep the other as a spare. No extra steps.
Marked #1 & #2 → two-coat colour
#1 is the solid colour, #2 the pearl. Deep chips: apply #1, dry ~10 min, then #2. Light damage where colour shows: #2 alone may do.
