    Hi Guys,
    I just bought a old Mini Convertible for my grand daughter. I will go through the entire process of doing all I can to bring it back to new, ending with 22ple. It occurred to me that I am not sure where in the process is the best time to do paint touch up?

    Before the coating but after the polishing should work well.

    keep in mind, touch up never looks perfect and rarely looks good.

    Process:
    clean paint void
    layer in the paint thin coats at a time, heating to aid in drying
    build it up to just about level.
    add clear coat as final layer, 1 or 2 layers.
    sand smooth

    Can it look good if done right, yes
