I was told to wait until at least 6 weeks before doing this. I made it 3 weeks.

1. I thought that did not work so well with the pearl color? 2. The paint is less than a month old, they will fix it or I will file a chargeback.

yah, unless baked, the paint needs a good few months to cure.

maybe they can touch it up for you?

I think it'll be more useful if you do lots of tracking....

Yes, otherwise the adhesive can screw up the clear coat....

Hope they can have it touch-up

Just spoke to the guy. They can touch it up but of course there's no clear over the area to protect it. Otherwise I'm looking at having to pay to sand the area down again and fix it.

I really hate this car.

mr.alcheng- hummm.... i just want to rid the latency.

my G has almost no latency even though it's drive by wire... my Z has like 9-10ms.

do you have nail polish? you can use enamel clearcoat once the base coat dries completely.

i'd find a local artist that has experience with air brush. he/she can touch up using plastic model paint for cheap.

.....I'm getting the venture shield on the hood at the very least. $175 installed won't hurt me.

DD'ing a nice car is hard to do when you care about it as much as we do.

ms.pint - you can also buy automotive clearcoat touchup bottles at your local autoparts stores for pretty cheap.

if it's a large area you can get automotive grade clear from places like below in rattle cans, pens, jars, etc.

Touch Up Paint from PaintScratch.com
