Anyone attempted to touch up metallic paint? It seems like the paint needs to be put on very light or it gets too dark, anyone able to effectively touch up? The paint is scratched where the previous wing once was *not sure how!* in 3 places, too deep to buff. Any suggestions? What is the best method, and are the paint pens the best way to go? Post pics of the job too if possible, I am looking to patch my trunk so well that you couldnt even tell the scratches are there...

 

I have just had the same problem happen, yes the mettalic paint has to be put on thin layers, I say have your paint code put in a spray can.Wet sand the spot and give it a try

 

I guess this is one bad thing for the Laser blue metalic colour....

But it is still a great colour.. I have had many compliments even from people working at GM dealerships.

 

Try using this stuff: Langka

player_1 put together a nice howto on it as well. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ghlight=langka

 

laser and blue streak mettalic are difficult to touch up, one is 8 component paint and the other 10
