Thread: Touch-up painting

Use a brush, and fill just the hole. If you go outside the edge of the chip, it creates a bigger step in the surface. It may not be perfect, but at least it's the same color.

Once you get into spraying, it gets tricky or expensive.

You can wrap the bolt heads with a single wrap of masking tape, and use a 6 point socket or wrench instead of a 12 point.......less chance it will mar the bolts. I think I have seen sockets that are lined with plastic or something to protect the bolts, but I can't remember where. If they do get scratched, a small artists brush with some of the same automotive paint you originally used can be applied to the boogered up areas, and will blend in pretty well.
