Touch up paint!
« on: 01 February 2011, 10:29 »
My door bump strips have been hit against a wall/car/fence (whatever) by previous owner and has took the paint off on the corners... anyone used touch up paint for such a thing? dont want to bother if it looks rubbish... would halfords touch up paint do the job?

I wouldnt bother with the touch up from halfrauds. The previous owner of mine had done it and unless you are meticulous with it, and cut it back after every coat of primer, paint and lacquer, it just leaves obvious raised welts. had to rub mine down and do it all properly in the end. Hope this helps mate.
