Touch Up Paint Assistance
Touch Up Paint Assistance
Before you start.... Yes I used the search tool... found out that Maxima paint is worthless (known), touchup paint from the dealer does not match (known) and that product to clean up the touch up paint blotches Langka does not work....
So with that being said... Has anyone come up with a full proof method the apply the tu paint w/o blotches? This will be for a 01 AE in Super Black. I love this car, but hearing about the chips from my hubby I can do without.

I airbrushed some of the touch up paint and it looks better than brushing it on. I sprayed too many coats and it came out a tad dark. I did this on a piece of test material and not the car. So, the touch up paint is actually a little closer than you would be led to believe. I consequently airbrushed some DupliColor, or whatever it was, supposedly Sterling Mist, but it was not close at all. I have a side-by-side pic I can post and the different is very noticable.
