Default Help with spotchy paint

So Mr. Genius himself decided to use touchup paint to fix rock chips and now the front hood is not looking too good lol to say the least.

What are my options? Is there a way to remove this dried up touch up paint? Can a detailer remove this?

Yes, they will have to buff/polish it out... When you use touch up paint, it is always recommended to get a buff/wax after to smooth out the touch up parts....

Did someone call my name?

Yes, Mr. Genius, you should have used Dr. Color Chip. Just get the hood buffed out. But don't wait too long for the touch up paint to cure completely.

Touch-up paint works great but you need the right technique and practice. There are lots of posts on related forums regarding this...........
