Audi gave me a free bottle of Brilliant Black paint to use as a DIY touch up job for some stone chips. Problem is I have no brush. Any ideas on what to use instead? I was thinking a cotton bud but the end is too thick IMO.
I recently purchased a sprint blue paint touch up kit. This colour is only available in spray cans and comes with two cans (clear and base coats). It cost me £12.58.
I use a size 3/0 brush from that I bought from a local model shop to put the paint on.
Clean with alcohol first. Use a toothpick, preferably one made of plastic. Apply thin layers over several days. Fill up the chip or hole so that the paint makes a slight bubble - just barely sticks out/up from the original paint. Leve to cure a couple of days. Wetsand it carefully. Apply two layers of CC. Leave it to cure a couple of days. Wetsand again if nessecary. Machine polish with a rotary.
Presto - chip gone.
Doing it inside a garage etc. with good heat could make the job easier/faster...
Hmm was thinkin of getting this done for mine as my car has a fair few nasty chips due to my daily commute on the M1 but might pop down to audi and see how much a bottle of brilliant red would be
