You can’t apply a clear coat with a brush, it’s much too thick. This is especially true of the clear coat touch-up. Most touch-up kits are really nothing more than an income stream for the car dealerships that sell them. You can very easily go too far and ruin your paint.
Sanding should be done by a professional if done at all. Second, sanding it down will damage the surrounding good paint. Paint has a thickness to it, and if the damaged area is smooth, there’s no way to make the touch-up paint thin enough to sit nicely on the damaged area. It acts like a bucket for the paint to sit in. First, for best results, you need the edge of the chip. That’s a really bad idea for a couple of reasons. I’ve seen articles out there suggesting that you sand down the damaged area before using touch-up paint.
The don’ts are more detrimental if not heeded, so I’ll start with those. I’d like to share my personal list of car paint dos and don’ts. I’ve also seen some terrible techniques go, well, terribly. Over the last 15 years, I’ve learned quite a bit about how to take care of car paint.
