    Touch Up

    My boat got some chips from a boat dock. The dealer has the small bottles of touch up paint with a brush in them. I can see bare aluminum in the chips. Do I have to primer them before touching up?

    Most of those paint tubes have primer built-in already. Just clean the spot first.
