Touch up blobs of paint

Post by Razza »

Guys,

Has anyone tried to grind down the blobs of paint left over by touch up 'specialists'? On a metallic finish, is T-cut the thing to use to grind down the blob and the surrounding paintwork before using lacquer (with a touch up brush?) in the affected area?

Or is it more trouble than it's worth?

I have never had much luck with TCut. From the sounds of things, I think you could end up making things worse and may be best left alone.

No kidding. I used it to carefully grind down the blob and then repapply lacquer properly and then waxed it and the surrounding paintwork.
Nice job... 8)
