Easy way to use brush on touch-up paint












Pick up some contact paper (I used scrap vinyl stripe), a 1/8' inch hole punch (Available at a craft store. Standard hole punch is 1/4")touch up paint, and degreaser. Clean all the chips to be repaired.

Take the punch and make several holes along the edge of the vinyl, then cut into 1" squares.

Remove the backing,and fold one corner of the vinyl under for easy removal. Center the chip in the hole and press down firmly.

Apply the paint and while it's still wet, remove the vinyl.

No touch-up is perfect, but this gives you a nice, clean circle of paint over the chip. Autoworker

good work.... I did a little touch up last week... went to Autozone and they had a i think duplicolor that had a brush and a ball point pen end and the ball point came in very nicely for small stuff... and the brush for bigger areas
