  Note
The repair/filler area should be kept as small as possible.
Possibility 1
For most colors, use the adjusted water-based base paint.
Possibility 2
It is recommended for colors with a high percentage of metal to adjust the Aqua premium water-based base paint in a 1:1 ratio with Touch-Up Additive for Aqua Premium -LVM 035 100 A3- + 10 % Flop Control -LWM 085 386 A2- (Additive For Aqua Premium -LVM 035 200/301- is not required). Use the Aqua Premium dipstick for clever repair.
Depending on the color and covering capacity, apply 3-5 spray applications of this mixture with reduced pressure (0.8-1.5 bar) to the repair area/run-off area. Make sure that each spray application is performed a little bit further and allowed to ventilate and matt. The ventilation time can be accelerated by blowing.
