How easy is it to use touch up paint on cars and what type of brush should i use?
Answers:
most of the small jars of touch up paint actually come with a small brush attached to the lid, best ones to get are from a proper garage that does repairs this way they get the exact paint using the paint code on the cars info plate.
a paint brush
i thought you use spray paint.Your doing a car not the Mona Lisa
go to the store. like walmart or soemthin and go in they're auto section. and find some. u dont exactly use a brush. well u can and its like a nail polish type brush. but dont use actual paint use the auto paint.
a 12 inch roller
its easy to use. every time that i have bought it, it was like a bottle of nailpolish. it had its own little brush connected to the cap.
it is better not to use touch up paints in the cars as it will spoil both the suface of the car and also the looks of it,and u will not be able to apply original metallic spray paint in that area again
White paint is easy. Most metallics are difficult. The touch-up paint comes as an aerosol for large areas. A small container about the size of a lipstick is sold for small scratches, this has its own little brush inside the lid.
If you use the aerosol, practise on something else first, so you don't get paint runs but still use enough paint to cover the area.
Some metallics come with a second spray of clear lacquer to use after the paint has dried.
its not difficult steer well the container before u use a small fine paint brush.check the paint code should match with the original
colour code.apply paint when weather is dry.
its easy to make it look a mess, if you have an aerosol, spray into the lid and use finest brush you can find.
I found that the little brush that come with the touch up paint was too floppy and flimsy and was hard to control. I bought one of those cheap kiddies paintbrushes and it went on fine. Just follow the instructions on the touch up paint packet and it is easy enough to use.
I'm no expert but don't you spray cars to help the rust?
touch up paints usually come with there own little brush.
is very easy to paint it, but to get it looking good that's hard,first make sure the area is clean and dry and any loose flaky paint is off, first just paint the metal , but try not to get heavy brush strokes , or put to much on it at once.
leave it to dry, then put on another coat, using very light brush strokes.
if U do messy up, just leave it to dry then sand it back to a smooth surface with so wet and dry sandpaper
You normally get the brush with touchup paint it's a bit like nail polish.The trick is to do it slowly when touching up and don't rush it.It is not that dificult.
for those small nicks i have used a match, great brush
