    Default Any one good at touching up paint?

    so im wanting to touch up my paint got some chips on the passenger side door, driver side door, and hood, and was wonder if anyone was good at touching up paint to make it look smooth with the existing...im just tired of looking at it and i dont trust myself the first time.

    make sure its color matched. red is 1 of the hardest color to color match.. those colors autozone and advance sell are garbage. they are reduced too much

    i would have thought you could do it. what do you mean you dont want to do the first time. it will be the first time no matter how long you wait.

    pending on what the scratches look like. If you get a close color match touch up and a thing of clear touch up I can fix it. just takes awhile of filling and buffing, filling and buffing
