Mike, will you be able to provide us with a tutorial on how to touch up paint & "layering" it with a buffer or wetsanding :xyxthumbs:
 
im not mike nor have any pictures but I did a touch up last week on my car. I wiped the area down with isoprophyl alcohol to remove all the oils and to get a good bond. Then after shaking the paint I dabbed the end of a toothpick in it and then slowly filled in the scratch. I would put some paint in, let it dry for a while and repeat. once the paint got a little higher than the original paint around it I began wetsanding. (2000 grit sandpaper soaked in water/car wash mix). I used back and forth motions with light pressure while constantly spraying the area with a soapy mixture.

Once the paint was level I buffed with a porter cable, orange pad and meguiars m105.
It turned it great.
If I do another one I will take step by step pictures
 
My black car has little tiny chips all over the front. Those little white spots stick out like a sore thumb!
