Medium Olive Touch-up paint?
I've got my buddy's 71 longhorn back at the house installing a trailer hitch and I thought maybe I could freshen up the appearance a bit just with basic elbow grease.
I started screwing around by rubbing out some of the front clip by hand with Meguiars ultimate compound. It doesn't look too bad...although I think its more of the "feeder oils" in the compound wetting the paint, rather than any cutting of the surface oxidation. I also took my DA and "leveled" the fiberglass that was glopped on the doors and box. I'm not trying to make it straight, just better. It is do for a body job...but I have a feeling thats a few years out. Does anybody make a medium olive aerosol touch up paint that I could just lay on lightly on the fiberglass spots to help blend it in a little? I haven't found anything remotely close.... Although being age faded will probably make it tough. I was trying to stay away from custom mixed, because I haven't heard much results, and I'd like to keep the costs reasonable. I actually don't mind the lightly rusted scratches because it matches the work history of the truck. But the hamfisted rust/body repair really ruins it.... Then again, maybe I should leave it alone!! I don't want to be the jackass that squirts touch-up paint on it and makes it look worse!! |
