Alright, I just want to be sure on how to do this before I go and buy the touch up paint from the dealer. I have a lot of knicks on my hood and a few spots on my car that I want to touch up and blend in w/ the rest of the car. My hood is getting freckles. I have a white car, and just wanted to know how to do touch up? Do I have to sand over the spots I want to touch up??? SHould I wax the car first to see how bad the knicks are??? I don't know, gimme some pointers for touch up. biggrin.gif

using a fine wet'n'dry, sand off the bump of the touched up paint, be very carefull with this bit, it will sand down easily, and dont scratch any of the normal paint (use a small rubbing block)

Then use an abrasive polish to blend it a bit before giving it a t-cut and polish/wax.
