touch-up paint question
Finally got around to try some of the spray touch-up paint from paintscratch.com yesterday. I bought paint for both my Dart and my old Chevy, and I used their spray primer, mixed paint, and clearcoat to paint the abs plastic "bumper filler" that hangs between the rear fender and the rear bumper. (Factory was urethane panels that have disintegrated and fallen off after 32 years).
Sprayed 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of color basecoat, and 2 coats of clear. I'm a rank amateur with spraying car panels but I'm very pleased with the results. The paint itself is beautiful with the correct amount of metallic, and looks very deep and rich. The photos dont really do it justice. Their website suggests waiting three days after clearcoat to use polishing compound to let it shine properly, but just sprayed out it looks great. I think the color itself might be a hair lighter, and a third coat of basecoat would have been perfect (I noticed it got darker with the second coat) but its on a separate body panel and a little recessed/hidden, so its not as critical to me. Very happy with it.
Hopefully this weekend I'll man up enough to use the thin bottle paint on the Dart. Ill give an update if anyone's interested. Just wanted to pass on the info about the product from Paint Scratch.
