Touch up paint.

[Dmat]

Since I got my grill bar color matched, I got to keep all the extra paint to do touchups. my question is should I also be adding clear coat or something else afterwards?

So far im only doing it on the door edges. There is a spot on the hood that im unsure if I want to touch or not.

Also, any suggestions on long term storage? right now its just in one of those quart cups with a sealable lid but its only 1-2 ounces in there. want to put it in something smaller.

For the typical small nick, clearcoat is basically a waste of time. As far as storage goes, get a small glass jar with a scew-on cap. Don't trust any kind of plastic container for long-term storage. I use airbrush bottles. https://www.dickblick.com/products/spare-parts-for-model-150/

I know you already have paint and are asking about storage but I have had really great luck with this kit that comes with clear coat.

I used them before on my fusion. I was disappointed overall with the product. It was ingot silver but it almost no metallic effect like the actual car. Also, for some reason, the clear coat ended up being UV reactive so it stood out where it was used. I was hoping I had kept the bottles but couldnt find them though.

Is it possible to airbrush the touch up paint rather than using a brush ?

Of course, but you'd better know what you are doing. 95% of us do not, and it will not look good!

As long as I can figure out how to thin the OEM touch up paint I can do it
