While washing the wifes IS this weekend I noticed a rock chip close to the sunroof. So today I decided to pick up some touchup paint and to my surprise it was 2 bottles. 1 is for the base coat and the other one for the clear coat. Does anyone have any experience on how someone would go about applying this properly? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

thx

I used touch-up paint on my Pearl White Solara a couple of years ago.

Apply a very small drop of the base coat (color coat) on the chip. DO NOT BRUSH ON!!! Let it dry.

After it dries, apply a very small drop of the clear coat (pearl) on the chip. DO NOT BRUSH ON!!! Let it dry.

That's it. The paint evaporates into a flat coat. It may have a round border, but otherwise covers a visible chip. Good luck!

hey thanks for the tip on this. to get my IS i had to sell my old car and there was one big chip that i used touch up paint on so make the car pretty. i had no idea how to do it and just used the brush and it sure looked ugly and uneven. if i ever need to touch up the IS i'll be an expert, LOL.

I know for my 06 GX in Blizzard Pearl paint (code 70), it requires a base coat, a mid coat and then a clear coat. I think they call it a tri-coat paint. Your paint sounds easier to apply.
