Re: [AMC-list] Question on touch-up paint

[dan whitehead <freebird_58@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've used acrylic enamel, which is possibly what was on the car.  The hard thing would be if the paint is faded alot.  But you can spray it with a few good coats, then take some 2,000 grit wet/dry and sand it to blend the overlap.  If you have any bare metal then a self etching primer should be used.  If there is some pitting where you can't get the rust out you can use some rust converting material first.  I've heard and done any filler two ways, with and without and primer.  I would suggest with primer first as to seal the bare metal from any moisture from the filler.  Take your time, and as suggested in the other answer, ask your supplier, painter or any other professional if your unsure.  

 

Good luck
