The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XIII

I actually did use black lacquer there (not even pearl) and because it is mainly in the seam, it's not totally apparent... It's such a small area, a spray can would just make a mess of it.

yah, i usually use a toothpick when i do touch up. i tap the tip to flatten it.
it holds just enough paint to fill a small chip and let the paint/gravity flatten itself.

i will try just the laquer on one of my touchups i did to see how well it blends.
if it works real well, ill remove the front bumper off the G and do it for all the
tiny chips she accumulated over the decade.

Yeah I use a lot of toothpicks for stuff like that.

The paint you have in your touch-up bottle is lacquer. Probably acrylic lacquer.

I have heard that the Dr. Colorchip works well for lots of small chips - at least to get them all the same color and not show the black bumper cover underneath and stuff. Never tried it myself, though.

yah, i think it is acrylic laquer. will find out soon enough when my bottle arrives.
im so glad i kept my old touchup though... from 10yrs ago.
