ok does any body know the proper method of applying touchup paint to get rid of scratches.
my mates car is really bad it has some light scratches which are white
and some deep which are metal
and some which i guess are medium which are black
i have got the touchup pen and the T cut colour restorer.
my old man says just apply light coats and T cut it to blend it
but when i try this it seems that the T cut just rubs off the paint that i have just applied . (i leave the paint to dry for at least 2hours before the T cut is applied)
any tips on applying this stuff properly ?
how thick should the coats be?
do i apply paint to just the scratch or to the scratch and the small area around it?
any help is appreciated thanks

i recon if the scratches are deep, yeah it will be noticable, if its done right then it will look a bit better than before
theres no substitute for having it done properly though
