tips for touching up paint?

[Penny S.]

I've got everything from miniscule chips to a few good scrapes, and I just got the t-u paint from
the Kona dealer...

at what point do I need to prime or do anything additional besides just paint? Be gentle,
I'm clueless.

You bought touch-up paint from a dealer? And you're a woman. Peny, I'm surprised...... I use nail
polish (current choie is Oil of Olay coz that's what the kid had in a red she didn't want) and it
holds up fine. I just paint it on the scritch, rust or not, and it seems to hold up well.. No
further rust bubbles after one year on the last application. And the colour choice is impressive ;-)

Steve - now, where's my hair-dryer?

Primer is for use on bare metal and maybe really bad oxidized paint. If the chips are real
small (i.e. <1/4") I won't worry about priming, perhaps just dab it another time after the
first coat dries.

I've used nail polish and model aircraft paint too. They work very well and are available in more
colors than one of your ski outfits <ducks>.

Hardly

Nail polish works without primer and with 3 billion different colors it's easy to find a match.

give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

Try "Hot Pink" or "Cotton Candy", it will match much better.
