Some W***ER scratched my car

Anybody any ideas to my previous post?

Is the touch up pen the correct colour?

Also,did it come with the laquer? if they don't come with laquer...id stray towards not using laquer.

 

Not sure on colour match though...either wrong colour,or you haven't got enough paint built up in the scratch/let it harden enough.

 

Ps:With scratches like these...Its always best to roll up some 800/1000 grit paper tightly and run it up and down the scratch.This will take away any definate edges that may even show up after paint correction.

The touchup is the exact code to match my paint mate, and the kit came with laquer, so should I defo use laquer?

 

I definitely let the paint harden though, maybe just try building it up again? Should I build up the paint to level with the paint and then add laquer?

 

Thanks for the tip with the 800/1000 grit, will try it, see how I get on

Id be inclined to if it came with the colour m8 aye...

Yeah,its probably not built up enough,try to drip it in if you can.Just build it up until its just nearly flush with the rest of the paint..no more.And then add laquer after its cured.

You want to end up with the laquer sitting slightly above the level of the original paint.

Possibly not worth doing this now m8,unless you can feel a very definate lip

 

And when you wet sand it,sand diagonally across the scratch/area...ie:bottom left to top right and bottom right to top left.
