💦 Detailing Paint touch up’s….

[MrMezger996]

I was sick of using the touch up paint you get from the dealer and leave that glob of paint that sticks out just as back as the actual chip did. So after some research I found this company call Color N Drive that sells higher end touch up kits. Now there was a lot out there but this kits requires more vehicle info to make sure the paint is an exact match. There were 3 options and only difference was how much volume wise you wanted. I got the smallest kit as I only have or had a few chips. I wanted these fixed as best as possible without paint work prior to having PPF installed. Kit comes with vehicle paint, correct and clean solution, wax and paste. Fine bristled touch up brushes, microfiber cloth and some foam pads. I was very happy with this kit, and it’s very hard to notice where the repairs were made. Now, these were small chips but I’m about as OCD as it gets with my car. I obviously know where the chips were but it would be hard for some one else to notice.

I think these types of kits would work great on scratches. The instructions say to brush on paint and actually use your finger (with rubber gloves of course don’t need more scratches) and with very light pressure to work paint over chip and or scratch. Let paint cure and use the correct and clean solution and with no pressure use that with a MF towel and the dried paint comes off the paint and leaves the paint in the scratch and or chip.

Edit: kit was $40, worth every penny if you ask me.

Thanks will check out the kits. I've used OEM paint pens but found them didn't like how they worked.

Gav'sPurpleZ is correct if you have the correct paint you could go this route. I do like this solution that after the paint drys you can remove the over paint around the repairs area but leaves the paint in the repair.
