Thinning touchup paint?
It smells like nail polish, so I was thinking that a nail polish thinner might do the trick. Any thoughts?
I got a little touchup out of the applicator and used a very very fine paintbrush to fill in a couple holes and small scratches and, while not completely gone, their appearance is SO greatly reduced, it's amazing.
I tried on a longer, more prominent scratch, but the actual scratch is so much thinner than the others I touched up, I sort of "painted over" it and then used some 3m fine cut by hand to remove the excess after it had had time to cure (patience required). The result on the other scratches was amazing, but on this one, I think I need a thinner brush (1 hair? ) and some thinned paint.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

word. good article. Maybe one day this summer I'll get really ambitious and strip my car down and spend a week redoing the whole thing. Looks like anything short of that isn't going to satisfy me
