Just did a 'search' for applying touch-up paint. Should I buy this 'Langka' stuff? Also ...

Is there a 'superior' method to doing a light silver metallic touch-up job? Thanks.

Langka is expensive and not much more than thinner but I used it and was satisfied.

Default I just did this instead, worked perfectly...

Let my touch-up "blob" job dry for only about 20 minutes, and then wrapped an old piece of t-shirt around credit card, squirted some 3M imperial hand glaze and wore the blob away until it was flush with surface (took several minutes of squirting and rubbing). This was a 1-2" scratch (down to the primer) and now it has practically vanished.

What about the clearcoat provided w/touch-up paint? When does that come into play?
