Usage Tips

1. Make sure the touch-up area is clean and free of wax, or the paint will not properly adhere.

2. Secure the cap and shake the Autosharp Pen vigorously for about a minute.

3. Select a test area other than your car to depress the tip and practice using the pen. IE. The door jam of your car.

4. Depress the tip of the pen gently and repeatedly, until the paint flows through to the tip.

5. Fill each chip or scratch once and let dry for about five minutes. Repeat once or twice if needed. 

6. Make sure the cap is always on the AutoSharp Pen when it is not in use. Store at room temperature on its side. If the tip becomes dry or brittle, hold the pen upright and remove the tip from the barrel. Keep the pen upright so paint does not flow out! Moisten the tip in a little paint thinner and re-seal.

Advanced Usage Tips for chips, fine scratches and wide scratches

Chips:
Make sure that the pen has a good flow of paint. This is accomplished through lightly dabbing the tip against a surface other than your car. After a good paint flow has been achieved, you should then proceed to lightly touch the chip with the tip of the pen to the bottom of the chip. For best results, wait at least 5 minutes between coats. Repeat this process until the chip is fully covered.

Fine Scratches: 
Make sure that the pen has a good flow of paint. Holding the AutoSharp Pen like you would a pencil or ink pen, hold your hand as steady as you can and very lightly draw a fine line across the scratch from left to right, trying to stay inside the lines. For best results, wait at least 5 minutes between coats. Repeat this process until the scratch is fully covered.

Wide Scratches:
Lightly pressing tip across scratched area, almost making small-connected circles, will fill wide scratches.
