Touching up paint damage

~1min read

Repair damaged paint caused by stone chips, scratches from parking, etc. before rust forms, using Mazda touch-up paint. First remove dirt and grease with a clean, soft cloth.

If rust has already started to form:

1. Thoroughly remove the rust with sandpaper.

2. Wipe the area with a clean, soft cloth.

3. Apply anti-corrosion primer to the surface.

4. After it has fully dried, apply a suitable layer of touch-up paint to the surface.

If you have any difficulty, have this work performed by a specialist service; we recommend a Mazda Authorized Service Center.

Perforation corrosion protection

The body is factory-protected against perforation corrosion. However, additional protection applied after the vehicle has been put into use will extend the service life of the body panels.

We recommend consulting a specialist service, preferably a Mazda Authorized Service Center.
