I had the cab covered but some dewberries got thru and landed on the cab. When I painted the truck I used Dupont Chromabase with PCL Superpro clear. It has been color sanded and buffed. The dewberries caused little divets, burns in the clear and down to the white paint that are about the size of a pinhead. (I know. I'm a pinhead for doing this). My question is, can I dab a little color on that divet, dab on some clear over that and try to smooth it out to blend flat with the original clear coat? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 | That's what I've done in the past. I'm not patient enough to get it perfect, but I've seen guys do it so you couldn't tell it was repaired with the naked eye.

Get away from that truck! Stand back! And while you're at it, take off your glasses!
Toothpick is a good tip. Any other techniques that have worked for anyone? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | Paper matchsticks also work well for touch up | | |
