Medium Olive Touch-up paint?

[andymarkv]

Thanks guys!! I bought touch up paint from my local paint shop and its fairly close. While I was there....I bought a buffer, cutting creme/pad and glaze/finishing pad.
I think I goofed up when I bought the rotary buffer VS a DA..... I went through the paint a few times....I don't think I would have with the DA.... Although, I hear its takes more effort to get through really nasty crap with a DA, but for a newbie like me (first time buffer) that probably would have been a good thing.
In my defense, the paint is just so damn thin and single stage, it doesn't take long to burn though.
Its interesting that the primer looks to be black on the front clip/doors/box and red on the cab. Which sucks because the black under layer hides much better where the paint is thin and the paint it super thin in a lot of spots on the cab.

Here's a couple of pics.... Its not great, but I think its better than it was.
It is pretty amazing where the paint was thick it looks like new again!!
Like I said, if I had known how nice some of it would turn out, I would have spent more time smoothng out the "spots". But I'm out of time and need it out of the garage. So it is what it is.

These pics are after compound. (I was washing the wheels and tires, have to shine the tires if I'm bothering to doing all this other crap) I have yet to find a light that really does the shine justice in a picture......
Right after these pics I hit the whole thing with glaze/polish. It made a decent difference. I need to wax it and get it sealed up. Then I can get back to what its really here for....wiring up the brake controller and fixing the exhaust manifold leak!!
