Very light touches, and do it during the day (trust me).

I tried that touch up paint (nail polish) before and hated it. I think Courtesy Nissan has some in a touch pen.

I agree with blackmax. Just use very little pressure and small amounts. It's a touch thing.

You can't ever get perfect results that way. Even spraying, with metallic if you only do one panel it often looks 'off'. It's due to the orientation and density of the metallic particles in the paint.

I have one of the touch up pens. As the other guys said, its really the touch. It took me a few tries of applying and wiping but after a few tries the sratch filled in pretty well. Of course you can see if you look close but it still looks better lol

you have to add it tiny bit by tiny bit - little by little cover up the scratch - then clear coat it
