I just installed my windows on my 58. Tried hard to not scratch the newly painted window frames but managed a half dozen or so eye sores. Has any one had good results with touch up paint pens or kits or other methods or is it best to try again?

I'd try some of the same paint used on the frames, with an artists brush, if it comes out too noticeable you can polish it down with some rubbing compound

Here is something that can be done to help protect the paint when installing parts, if its not thick enough in an area either double up on it or use tape on it.


Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks.
Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.

Thanks. I'll try. Good news is I didn't scratch the new door or vent window paint. Need another dose of patience.
