Tackling my first detail project, follow along...

You could also touch it up, let it dry/cure and then try to feather it in with more wet sanding to level the touch up. I always mix my touch up color 50/50 with touch up clear coat. It's much easier to get a smooth layer rather than applying at separate times. I also use toothpick brushes or syringes to get really detailed with the touch up process.

Thank you. I'm trying to locate my paint code. Any recommendations as to where I should buy the paint? Should I get one of those pens or the bottles?

props to you for going through with all of this. You're going to be a more skilled detailer in one detail than many in 6 months. It's easy polishing and cleaning and waxing. Making mistakes wetsanding is going to be your best teacher. And now you're going to learn how to do touch up paint and wetsand that area to blend it. Seriously amazing first time detailing. Really throwing yourself in there! Good luck

really? does it change the color at all in terms of light/dark? i have read about this, even spoke to a body shop owner i know about it a while back and he was not sure what would happen. but, i think the chemistry between the clear he would use vs. the clear i use is different.

for some touch ups, i think this sort of touch up, the old school "one bottle" sort of touch up, would be so much more appropriate for certain situations, but for years now, all of the touch up paint i've used is base coat and then clear coat, like what paintscratch sells.
