[Review] AutoSpa Touch-Up Paint

As some of you know, I brought a AutoSpa Touch-up Paint to touch up some of the scratches and stone chip on my car paint job.

So here it goes.

Initially the plan is to give my car a thorough wash.

BUT...

found out that my garden hose is out of commission.



Anyway, I just gave my car a quick wash concentrating on the area where I plan to test out the AutoSpa Touch-up paint.

This is how the combination look like. The brush and the paint.


To use this, you have to
- Shake thoroughly before applying
- Make sure the surface area is CLEAN and DRY
- Apply the paint with a brush/toothpick on the scratched surface and wait 30 minutes for the paint to dry

Now the problem here is, I did not look up on how to apply this touch-up paint properly. I just go with my feeling.
It only came to me once I have done the first spot.

DOH !!!!

Anyway this is the before shot.

Front passenger door strip


Front passenger fender


Lightly dip the brush into the paint and then I apply it slowly by just touching or light brushing over the scratch surface.

Took me 5 minutes to complete this 2 spot as I readjust the paint work using the brush.

This is the after shot.

Front passenger fender


A closer look of the 2 location.




So from what I have done so far, I am pretty satisfied with the product but I am not satisfied with my handiwork.
Maybe it will be better the next time on a different car? Wait for my review as I am going to touch up a myvi pretty soon.

I would gladly recommend this to anyone who want to do their own touch up on their vehicle paint job.

As for now, I will ask uncle google to find out more on how I can improve my handiwork.

-Cheers-
