Paint problems - Using touch-up pens

[slinky]

Hi all,

I have just had to touch-up yet another small scratch on my car.  However, it still shows - just less worse than bare metal.  What would be the best way to make it look a little better?  Would a good polishing work?  If so, what brand do folk recommend?  I'm thinking that a T-Cut may be a bit excessive?  Not very clued-up here so any experience-based advise is very welcome.  (My car is 5 yrs old, metallic paint.)

Cheers!

Hi, I don't think that using T-cut is a good idea, as all that you will do is cut into the clear top coat. I have used the paint sticks ,and I find that if you put the paint on very thinly and build up the layers gradually, it gives a better result. Hope it helps you.
Regards Bev.
