I have several parking nicks scattered on the rear plastic bumper area. Last month i bought white touch up paint from the Toyota dealer. I just washed the car and want to apply the paint to the nicks.it has a 2 in one applicator with a roller ball tip and brush end.
the directions say to use pen: unscrew black cap remove and discard orange insert from bottle.
to roll: engage ball and apply in steady even motion. to brush: remove excess paint from brush apply thin coat in one direction. let dry 30 minutes before applying additional coat. apply clearcoat after 24 hours
i have never touched up paint on a car before so this might seem like cake to some of you, it's confusing to me. i have not opened the kit yet
do i use the ball or the brush? is there a choice?
You would use the ball to apply a smaller amount of paint, or use the brush to apply more paint. Try the ball first, if that does not apply enough paint to suit you, use the brush.
It would be best if you could find an experienced operator to show you how to do this, I could type on for 10 pages and not give you what I could show you in 5 minutes.
maybe "Joe Torre" who worked on my old Tercel could do it? BTW, thanks for the info. maybe i could call the parts dept, maybe somebody there could do it or maybe when i take the car in for it's first oil change?

When I brought my car in for its first warranty repair, the body shop touched up what what the first of many nicks along the front edge of the hood. No charge.
There is a lot of technique to obtain good results. Use the smallest amount of paint you can, because taking off excess paint is far more difficult than adding a little more. Keep gravity in mind-it can work for you or against you.
thanks for the info. maybe i will just ask one of the techs to do it at Toyota. i already have the paint for them
