Advice on touch up paint

I used Shark Blue OE paint from Porsche and it was very good, but I can see that some colors work better than others. Also make sure to Shake very well.
Good to know. I just received the OE Shark Blue touch up from Suncoast and I'm about to try it on a small nick low down on the front bumper. Thanks
 
Use a 3/0 spotter brush--a type of artist's brush. Should be available from any decent art supply store. Like so:


Don't dip the spotter brush in the bottle to load it. Instead, pick up paint from the brush supplied in the cap of the touch-up bottle.

You'll need lacquer thinner to clean the brush.
I'm going to try this. Thanks!
 
Thin coats. first put a thin coat and let it dry about 30 minutes, then put 2nd coat. I used the brush but rubbed off most of the paint on the side of the paint dispenser.
On the 2nd or 3rd coat you can add a little more to hide the edges of the chip.
Yes, and I think by doing it this way, two or three thin coats, you can use the OE applicator brush. In the past, on other cars, I used too much paint on the brush. Thanks!
