Hi,  just ordered the touch up kit from here for a couple of stone chips on the bonnet and also a scrape on the corner of the rear bumper.

The kit comes with the colour touch up and also a clear lacquer.  Wonder if anyone who has used these has any tips for applying?

Thanks

Haven't used that particular one but my tip is to shake well then wipe as much paint off the brush/pen as you can and apply very sparingly.. two very light applications (if necessary) would be better than one generous one. Wait untill that is completely dry then a thin coat of clear

I have the Mica Black equivalent (cost me £5 from the dealership).

Forget the internal brush for the stonechips... get a toothpick and use it to apply tiny droplets.

Yeah I have used it too...   I second what's been said already, especially DON'T used to supplied brush.  It's thick and clumsy and the paint is thick and goo-hi (SP?)    (senior moment)...  Either invest in a child's paint brush trimmed to a neat point or what Shambles says for stone chips sounds OK...   Little and often I think is the received wisdom here, then same again with the lacquer coat.  Good luck

Thanks all for the tips, sounds like good advice.  Will give it a go this weekend and report back.
