Touch up ?
Has anyone used the Paradox Systems touch up kit?
I have a 10x8 oval of f'ed up paint on my hood and I wanted to know how it would look to patch it up or should I have my hood re-painted?

Have the hood repainted. Unless you have atleast several years of experience with automotive painting, it will turn up like ****.
Clear coat cannot be blended, so that makes it kinda difficult to do a quality touch up with a smaller kit. Do it the right way and have it repainted by a reputable shop.
I also take it that its a metallic color (Grey Lusture), if thats the case, don't even attempt on touching it up. Metallic paints arent easy to blend, not to mention you can't wetsand them down without messing up everything. Trust me on this one......
