I didnt have much luck with Langka or the titanium silver touch up paint.

All I can suggest after my trials in shake the paint VERY VERY VERY well
before you do each spot or else it will darken.

On my car the bumper primer seems black.. so against silver its better to touch up.

The hood was white, so its harder to see. The touch up paint, even when flush made it even easier to see IMO.

Experiment with times or paint dring... the Langka doesnt quickly take off the paint. You gotta rub A LOT.

Let us know how it turns out. I have used lanka before and find it very difficult not to remove too much. Also make sure the area around is very clean or you will introduce dirt into the paint as you Lanka.

My paint didn't show up yesterday, i guess it will tomorrow, Thanks for the advice with the Langka guys!

I will take some before and after close up of the 3 or 4 that are noticeable!

Wish me luck!
