Touch-up paint question...
I finally got some touch-up paint from my dealer - how the heck does one use this stuff? There are two bottles - the metallic base paint (Lake Silver in my case) and clear lacquer. The base paint has a funky steel brush, guess you use that to drip into the nick or scratch? I also assume that it's base paint first then clear lacquer.
In the spring I intend to spend some time filling in all the nicks and minor scratches, also wondering if using Langka is advisable as well.

i mixed the two together...base and clear coat 50/50.
i tried the langka solution and bought two bottles. didn't really care for it although the concept sounds good...i think the end result is so so. or maybe i haven't perfected it. i've painted laquer on cars before and you can polish it up very nicely, but the audi touch up paint doesn't really shine well.
mixing 50/50 helps a bit.
hope this helps. if you'd like, you can buy the spare langka bottle that i have. i thought i was going to use it all up with all the chips on the front of the car, the nicks from the gas attendents, and some parking attendents bumps on the rear.
