Hitch Receiver Touch-Up Paint Tips (Canada)

Hitch care

Touch-up paint slows rust on chipped hitch powder coat. Clean to bare metal on chips, apply thin coats, and cover the tube when empty so new chips are rarer.

Prep

Wash off salt. Sand loose rust. Wipe clean. Thin coats beat one thick run. Match black hitch paint designed for towing gear when you can.

Prevention

A receiver cover helps. Rinse after salted roads. Recheck weld edges and bolt flanges each spring — those chips start the deep rust.
