Foxy Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 On the same subject - can anyone advise how to prevent paint touch-ups changing colour? Used the correct colour touch-up paint (radiant red) to cover bumper scratches and it looked fine for a while but then turned a couple of shades darker. If you can, thanks.

Colin Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 can anyone advise how to prevent paint touch-ups changing colour? Yea don't use em........... Seriously however, if this has happened it means you have touched up an area of the car that has either got soem sort of polish or t-cutting agent upon it, so you need to wash the area clean and I mean really clean with just water before you begin! Amazing what a day helping out in a mates bodyshop can teach you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did put some primer on first btw. Thanks for advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
