Touch Up Paint Techniques

The way they describe the other one it sounds exactly the same as Lanka.

 

Ya. It sounds like a lot of people here are going with Langke but has anyone tried the Blue Lightning. Just curious why Langke has become the default choice.

 

Has anyone tried this on a 360?

I saw this Lanka product in the AutoSport catalog and then spoke to a person there who used it.

He said it was an older Audi but he was pleased with the results. Older Audi doesn't cut it for me.

It scares me to fool around with the 360 paint.

So, I am looking for help here from someone who has used it on his 360.

 

I have used Lanka for my t/ups on my G titanio 575,red 360 and now blk 430.
great product! I fill the chip with the t/up creating a convex blob-the a few hrs later when dry use the Lanka on a plastic card or a cloth to smooth out then clear coat then polish.

 

To apply minute drops of paint on chipped areas, I have always found that a paper matchstick works the best. Just tear one off a matchbook then cut it at a sharp angle to create a point. Lightly dab that into a cap of paint and you can accurately apply a very small drop of paint. Just keep building it up with repeated applications then lightly polish or wet sand the area.

 

I've used a service that will come to you and do the touch-up.

The one I use does such a good job, you can't see where the blemishes were.

They've even filled in and painted large, deep chips!

Most new car dealers in my area use them also.

Cost is very nominal. The last time I used them, I paid $140 to have a large chip filled and painted, and a number of smaller chips repaired.

 

Darolls,

Where are you located?

I want that service!

 

Sorry Greg, I live in a burb' of Chicago.

I'm sure, if you're willing to pay expenses, my guy would come to you!

Seriously, I'm sure car dealers in your area must use this type of service. They might be able to steer you in the right direction.

It's the only way to go!

 

No kidding. You guys have a great paint touch up person and you just got push button phones? Unbelieveable.

I may have found a person locally here in N. Calif, and if so I'll post in the appropriate area.

Thanks for the info though.

 

Yep, da Boyz waz too busy working on updating the, shall we say, 'Exterminator' if ya get my drift.

In a town full of Wize Guys, phones ain't at the top of our list!

Gotta go, have a meeting at the Lexington on S. Michigan!!
