Touch up paint removal

Gtapo · 2019-01-31 11:27:49

Hi i touched up stone chips on my car but the colour doesn't match very well and they stick out. How do i remove the touch up paint and not damage the paint around it. Thanks

You're probably better off sanding down the new paint and applying better paint over it.
Check with a local bodyshop before you do anything. They may have a trick or two up their sleeve.

Just to clarify, did you use lacquer with the new paint too?

If not this is more than likely why the color is different.

Some places like halfords or top part make custom paint for you too which works well

It might come off with a gentle dab of white spirits or tar remover. Particularly if you didn’t go over it with lacquer.

It should come off quite easily if you haven’t lacquered it.
