Scott, the guy who painted my truck gave me the left over ochre and the leftover white for me to use as touch of paint. How should I apply this?

In lieu of a small brush, I have used individual matches out of book matches. They make a nice brush and are disposable.

Sounds like a neat idea to try to me.

A good way to touch up chips in paint is to use a sharp nail, dip it in the paint so that there is a drop on the tip of the nail. Touch the nail in the center of the chip and let the drop run off the nail and into the chip to "fill in" the chipped area. It may take more than one time and you'll have to experiment with the size of the drop so you do not overfill the chip, but it works. Good luck

Thanks a lot. I think I'll do this next weekend once I get everything back in order. Still putting everything back together... never thought I'd be so busy on truck AFTER the paint job. I thought it would be a one night deal.
