Check Paintwork

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check paintwork after removal, particularly in the body frame area
Clean, prime and apply top coat to bare areas
Make good minor surface damage with a paint stick

NOTE:

Never use glass primer (formation of corrosion). Glass primer is for protection against UV light only, and is therefore only applied to the pane of glass.
