Touch Up Paint

augsburg911 · 06-22-2009, 08:09 PM

Does anyone have any tips, or recommendations for touching up paint, from rock chips, etc. Does Porsche make any touch up paint that can be sprayed, or are there any aftermarket products that are good, and that are made for home use?

I got Metallic Silver, and it's just OK as a kit, however the color match is right on. The kit works best on dark color cars.

Do a search for 'touch up paint rock chip' under all forums.
You should be able to find the manner to do non-metallic paint touches.
(You car's color is ?)
I've got to believe the 'Concourse' forum is most likely to have something.

Basically, the touch up steps are:

-Strip wax
-prep spot (remove loose paint at the injury, if necessary)
-toothpick-apply paint to spot (though I've found better results w/ a homemade single paint brush hair applicator... Really.)
-let cure
-stone down paint 'blob' to area conformance
-polish (& done)

Have bought their kits for single-stage and clear-coated colors, works very well.
I think they basically just mix in a flow agent called 'Langka' into the touch-up bottle, which you can buy separately elsewhere, but it's just more convenient this way.
