Removing previous touch up paint??
This was actually on my wife's car. She had done some touch up paint and put blobs of it on. It looks terrible. Like a bump in the paint! I'd really like to remove the paint she put on the car and make it look better. I saw something online that said to do the steps below.
Has anyone done this before and does it work? I have never done something like this and wouldn't want to make the paint worse... 1 - dab some paint thinner on to a clean soft cloth. 2 - rub gently over the paint blobs [car should be clean]. I have also used cotton swabs instead of a cloth 3 - the touch up paint will be removed [I have seen it remove touch up paint that is up to a year old] 4 - the original factory paint/clear coat will not be effected. It is too hard and is baked on [this assumes your car still has the original factory paint] 5 - wash down any area that had come in contact with thinner well. Discard or wash cloth 6 - make sure area to be painted is dry and clean 7 - apply the factory touch up paint carefully. I use a very fine brush or a tooth pick - never the paint brush that forms part of the lid for the touch up paint. This may take several applications to build up the paint to a little over the existing factory paint level 8 - then follow Langka instructions 9 - give area a good buff with Scratch X 10 - give the whole car a good coat of NXT, with extra focus in areas touched up [the choice of wax is up to you] |
