    Dupont Chromabase touchup

     



    Does the chromabase match up good if you have to go back and touch up an area? Any tricks to getting it to match and not leave a spot that is noticable?

    You'll have to blend it in as it does not "spot" well.
    Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

    Yeah, you prep the whole panel for clear, blend the color out on the spot you are repairing and then clear the whole panel.

    Chromabase isn't a "spot touch" kind of paint. Like they said, do your color on the area needed and reclear the whole panel to blend. I don't think Dupont makes a blending material like PPG does for their clears for Chromabase but I could be wrong...???
