    Howdy,

    Does anyone here know a safe and effective way to remove touch up paint? The dealer gave me a bottle as it was just lying around (it was free) but it is a darker color than my Rosso Corsa and it drives me nuts.

    I'd like to get Dr. Color Chip but first, I gotta remove this stuff. Any good way of doing it? This may freak you guys out but I was thinking of taking a small dental pick and plucking the blobs off. Or is that a bad idea? Anyone have any good ways of removing the touch up paint without messing up the real paint? Thanks in advance.

    There is a product called Langka that is meant to fix blobs of touch up paint. It is basically a solvent and will remove the touch up paint.

    If you are talking about your 95 355, it has a two stage, catalyzed paint on it. The touch-up paint is mostly likely just lacquer. You can use lacquer thinner to remove the touch-up paint and it will not effect the original paint. Of course, always test on an inconspicuous spot.
