I have a few nicks and deep scratches where only metal is showing on my 04 ram 2500. I bought the necessary touch up paint for it.

However, for a few of the deep nicks the rust color is starting to show. Should I apply some kind of rust prevent before applying the touch up paint. Maybe apply por 15 then paint on top of that.

Figured I would get the expert opinions of others on here so I know what I am doing. Right now I was looking at buying the por 15 and the touch up paint by scratch wizard off of amazon. Not sure what others have done and used on their trucks. Thanks.

 

I just wiped all areas with alcohol and applied the touchup paint. Depending on the depth of the spot, it will take a few coats of touchup to fill in.

For light scratches, touch up paint is enough. And for deep nicks and if rust is starting to show, I would use a rust pevent.

 

Thanks guys for the ones showing rust I will use POR 15 for other touch up only. Thanks again!!

 

look under your door rubbers at your door seams...dirt salt and what ever gets trapped their... if their good than go all out to stop rust... If their shot, its a lost cause...
