Touch up paint, How warm does it need to be to do? Options

[Rjb23]

I need to do some touch up to my front bumper it has a few nicks in it. Anyway how warm does it need to be to do it? Say like 60 degrees or so is that warm enouch? Also do I need to put clear coat on where I did the touch up?

And has anyone used this? I saw it in a car magazine they said it worked well.
Mothers Cal Gold paint chip repair kit.

Gold?, dont know about that but Mothers is a good brand (I trust there stuff) what color do you need, got to a toyota dealer and ask they have little nail polish size bottels for like $7 something, you dont need a clear coat for it, but yeah on an angle you need warm weither.

gold is part of the name of the product lol. I got a honda color so I don't think yota has it. But yea I was just wondering if anyone had tried it yet.

to me it looks like your paying $15 to make sure you don't mess up

touch up paint can be tricky to apply...some use the brush that come w/ those nail-polish sized, others recomment the end of a matchstick, and others prefer the o-so-long toothpic method.

all in all, the surface is say bigger than a cell phone button can stick out, so that $15 may be a good investment to make sure everythings flat, as an alternative to wet-sanding...

Yea that is what I was thinking, if $15 makes it look like it did before I think its worth it.
