Touch up paint technique
I have bought the genuine Porsche parts Acryl Lackstift-Set with the intention of touching up stone chips. It contains 2 items:
Acryl Lackstift touch-up-pencil, and Acryl Klarlack clear lacquer.
I know it comes with a thin brush attached to the cap and I've used touch-up paint on my previous cars - but never very successfully.
Has anyone had any experience with this touch up set by way of application; drying times; application of the clear lacquer; how to avoid the tell-tale "bubble"?
There were no instructions with the 2-pack set.
Tnx

Jack, take a look here.... http://www.langka.com/ lots of diffrent opinions. Personaly I've had good luck with this stuff, the main thing is take your time follow the directions and in most cases use two coats. Good Luck!!

Becareful with the langka product. I had a chip on the edge of my fender and ended up rubbing though the factory paint. I have used a toothpick successfullyl to apply touch up paint. I was also recomended to go to an arts and kraft store and buy the smallest brush they had (0 i think), then use that. The less touch up paint the better. The factory paint could be a little thick to apply with the brush so you could thin it a little bit.

For touch up, I mix very little paint with paint thinner about 50 50 % each in a small cup. Clean surface with rubbing alcohol, than use toothpick and touch up chips. It could take several applications to build up to what is needed. It can take a day to dry per application. When I get the paint to proper surface I use blue magic and "compound" out slightly than wax over the area.
