best place to get touch up paint sydney

[Orangee94]

soo i have the smallest of a door ding and its bugging me and id like to fill it up SOO any recommendations on where to get AW touch up paint or pen?

Get it from the dealer, it was $70 from memory. Not worth the risk of buying something aftermarket and it not matching in my opinion.

You get it in a little bottle and brush. Just dab it on the chip/scratch and itll self level. If you have an orbital buffer you can polish over it and get it to look very good and hard to notice.

A touch up won't fix something like a door ding where the sheet metal has been bent though.

Is that the stuff that comes in two small jars with clear coat?

Did you wetsand the paint repair after applying to level out the peaks so it was flush with the original paint after applying?

I don't bother using the clear. I just use the paint and leave the blob on the paint for 15 mins. Then I use a tissue with isopropyl alcohol to remove the excess and level it out. Leave it to dry completely and buff it with an orbital. There's probably more I could do but you can't really notice it after doing this.

Ahh cool

I have a couple of clear coat pieces that have flaked off, curious to see if I can repair with a clear fill.
