Touch up paint..

97GT4.6 · March 11th, 2008, 09:47 PM

So I have a crappy ass aftermarket paint job, and its peeling off in some places badly. I asked maaco how much they would charge, and they said they would only paint an entire panel and they cant touch up. So i decided i want to fix it myself.

What do you recommend? Ive heard spray paint works, with gloss over the top, and i have also seen the bottle with a little brush..

Attached are pictures of the areas that need to be fixed.

Thanks

eh if your just looking short term, I would tape the shit out of the car, sand a square and primer it. Then paint, when your done painting first coat or two take off tape and try to blend the last (should be thinnest) coat. Then clear coat and you have yourself a mediocre paint job. Dont expect the do it yourself to ever look good without redoing a panel and having professional equipment and know how.
