I bought some touch up paint the other day and it is in a little bottle that when you open it a brush is connected to the lid.

My question is what do you suggest for putting it on. Like the car has been keyed.

What is the procedure? Clean? If so with what? And then just use the brush over it? Even the the scratch is a fine line and the brush is a decent size. Any input is great.

 

well how big is the mark? what i suggest is puttin it oin thick....sand it smooth like no scratch smooth and gloss over it

 

Well there are plenty of scratches, the keyed mark is just the biggest. goes from driver door to halfway on the rear quarter panel.

 

ouch yea what i said should do

 

Alright, anyone else have an opinion about this? Maybe you agree, or have a different way.

 

Cmon people need some input before I attempt.

 

eh, im not a big fan of what jp suggested... and im not a big fan of "touching up" or brush touching on a car with that many scratches... it'll actually turn out worse than it is now... i'd say sand it, paint the whole panel, then clear the whole panel... that way it will look the best, and you can get the paint mixed yourself real cheap at a local car shop, and a cheap gun at like advance or o-reilly's

 

Alright, I think I might just use the brush on one spot on the bumper to see how it turns out before I dont too much. Then I will see what my neighbor says about painting all the scratches.

 

there is a more effective but time consuming way and a lil mre prffesional as well...step by step....fill deep scratches with body filler and sand down smoot with rough to smooth sand paper.....put on primer base coat and put 2-3 coats of the color and hen 2 coats of clear....it gives it a beutiful finish but it is very time consumong, needs to be done in a clean space with good lighting...but thats only if ur up to the challenge....a spary can would work also but a little more noticable
