Touch Up Paint: Has any one used it yet ?
I hope we share the knowledge on how we got the black scratches painted using the Touch up paint that comes with the Lexus.
I had a small scratch at the back, i used the Touch up Paint with the "Ears cleaner cotton shown in blue.

and painted whats black. The black part at the back is about the smae size on that blue ears cotton not much big. After painting gently i noticed color difference. Do i wait for a couple of hours for the paint to dry and then take it to the polish shop ?
Any suggestions would be gr8, GreetZ

I've used always used a paint tip touchup and a clearcoat pen. It's not going to look like there's no touchup at all but it covers the scratch and protects the metal.

Thanks for posting that UAE. I've copied it for future, but hopefully unnecessary, use!
The only thing is if you have a very narrow scratch, sanding the primer is impossible without scratching the immediate surrounding area.

The Obsidian Black is covered with two (2) clear coats. I don't know where these rumours start regarding newer cars, but they are baseless. Car manufacturers haven't used single stage paints since 1985. However if they did, the single stage "acrylic" enamels would be harder than the water based clearcoats used today, and thus be much more scratch resistant... Naturally, older cars that still have single paints would be re-coated with same, unless they choose to "upgrade" as it were.
