    Hmmmm.... I'm skeptical. It could work, though. I do it the "old, hard way"

    I just went to Autozone and bought the dupli-color that matches my car. It seemed to hide them pretty good. If no one knew I did it that way, I doubt too many people would notice. I had some paint wear marks that I just covered up as well. It all looks good. I need to get some for my other car.
    If my pics are not working, please email me, I may have moved the pics on a different page on Photobucket. Thanks

    it's similar to how a body shop does it just on a small scale, I have yet to get a blended edge where it couldn't be seen under some condition (and even one of the painters who teaches blending for PPG says the same) if it's a small spot, and you have a common color get some touchup paint if you have a car like mine good luck

    yea tell me about it...this is my third car with this color... its impossible to find this color and I even used to work at a dealership. I have a coupleof bottles from a few years ago that I guard with my life.

    For touch ups I use the fill it in with a few coats till its thicker than the original paint.. wet sand it down... buff it method. Some colors blend better than others but I figure a slightly different shade is better than primer or bare metal/rust
