Recommended Paint For Touching Up Blemishes On A Trailer Hitch Accessory
Updated 02/03/2026 | Published 06/30/2024
Question:
Hi, I just purchased this item. There is a spot where the black finish is damaged, see attached photo. Do you have a recommended product to repair the black finish, or should I just use any rust-resistant primer and paint?

Hey Luke,
It looks like the picture didn't come through, but yes, you can just use any exterior rated black paint/primer to touch up any blemishes in the paint on your Patriot Hitches Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter # PH54FR.
