Yea I literally just rubbed through the light dusting of paint i put over the black primer so it would match whats left of the original paint on the truck. I used a red scotchbrite pad after paint was dry. Paint actually dried enough to do that within probably 10—15 min. I put just enough on to have some color then proceeded to rub away at it.
