Need touch up paint help

Hey Guys I have a Glacier pearl maxima and the touch up paint is a little different than ones I have used in the past.

It has two bottles, a base coat and top coat. I will be using langka when I am done.

Do I just put on the base coat and then top coat like they say and then use the langka? Will the lanka end up taking off the top coat?

Did you buy the complete Langka kit ($40) or just the blob remover?

If you bought the whole kit, IIRC there are directions with the kit on the right method to use.

I'm assuming base coat will be the white color and the top will be the pearly/metallicky effect.

I think you'll be okay with Langka if you follow the instructions to the letter and the let the top coat dry to the right hardness before smoothing. That's a really forgiving product, so if it looks strange you can always try it again after a day or so without doing anything to your paint.

Don't be afraid to experiment! Let us know how it turns out.

www.langka.com

housecor recommends the product on his site (http://www.innerbean.com/housecor/langka.html). I've read several threads on the 'Org about Langka and all spoke highly of it. I personally have not had time to use mine yet, but I'm thinking it will work pretty nicely.
