^ true that. One of the advantages of having a tiag is the display of all the lines/curves of the car.

Damn, thng is I just shelled out 350 for my intake...AHHH..damn mod bug.

Hey guys. I need some info.

So I went to the dealer and bought some touchup paint.

It comes with 2 containers, one is "Paint Stick Basecoat", other "Paint Stick Clear Lacquer".

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to apply this onto the scraped areas of my paint?

Ty.

basecoat first and then lacquer. as for the specifics i'm not sure. i heard that the brush they include sucks though. u'd prolly have better luck PMing Picus or asking in the detialing forum

Ty.

might want to get a touch up kit too... get a few microbrushes as well...

basically you paint it a few times to fill the hole and then apply the lacquer clear coat then you wax it to protect it... but this is over like a day or two or something with lots of heat on the paint to make it dry faster... haha filling those holes sucks man.

dmn! that's long, forget it. i'm going to sleep! lol

SES_D · 06-23-2007, 02:31 AM

thanks for the info guys.

Just4kickz, I don't have holes, their more like scratches. Not deep & not dents.
Would I be okay using the brush they supply? Just paint then apply the clearcoat right.

just4kickz · 06-23-2007, 03:24 AM

imo from what i remember... the brushes might be kinda too big for a minor scratch... but if u can carefully apply that stuff, I guess its ok. Remember that paint shrinks as it dries, so you might need to apply it a few times depending on the size of the scratch. & after all that you apply the clearcoat. I bought my paint from BavAuto... so if its the same tiny volumed paint bottles I'm pretty sure its the same brushes.

Heres a website that might help you...

http://www.langka.com/paint_chip_repair.php

Langka also makes chip repair kits that includes a little towel, a plastic smoothing thing for the paint, liquid wax, a pre-paint cleanser, microbrushes, and a little liquid that allows you to gently smooth out areas with excess paint. I have a kit... but I'm not a patient guy and I didn't do a good job at all.

yeah for sure man. Of course that sideskirt is gone! Man, that was only the second time my mom drove the car too.

Do you mind if I ask you later on, on how to claim the insurance? I'm going to talk to my agent first though, good thing he's a cool guy. Thanks for the advice man.
