Hey guys
I just picked up a bottle of touch-up paint at the dealership, thought they would charge an arm, was only 10 some bux with tax
I thought this colour was fusion orange, aparently here in canada the dealership calls it Sunburst Orange
When I bought the car there were a few spots that were touched up, the colour was really off, a lot lighter, from looking at the paint in this bottle however it seems to be a pretty good match, a much darker orange than you would think "sunburst" to be.
Anyway I have a few nicks on my hood, few elsewhere and this nice are below my door where a rock must have hit myself on the highway (one of those phantoms), its about an inch long and a half inch wide (its all black, i suppose from the prime?)
Im wondering how I should go about this, im planning on having it polished and waxed soon, should I do this before or after that?
Should I basically go at it, it has the pen and little brush, how many coats should I put on. There isnt any rust on the spots, should I apply this paint right to the spot without anything first, should they have a little coat of clear put on afterwards?
Any tips would be appreciated, did some searching but mostly people asking where to get the paint, thanks
peace
