I have a very poor touch up paint job from a previous owner on parts of my vehicle. Has anyone tried this application without damaging original paint?

This product on a towel and light rubbing will remove touch up paint. If you tried, you could remove the original (baked on paint) after an hour of rubbing the same spot.

I think so, but for best results you should to sand carefully the affected surface ,wash and dry and then apply the paint

I would be inclined to say yes. You'll have to scrape or sand the majority of the paint and you'll use the polish to restore the surface.

I haven't, but considering it's ink designed for use on paper, I doubt it'd work as well as paint made for cars. It washes off pretty easily from non-porous surfaces, and the colors don't really show up well unless they're on a white background.

I clean off any excess that gets on the paint with detailer and have not noticed any paint damage. Also, you do not spray this on. It is applied with a cloth or applicator.

If you thin the paint correctly, it would probably do a decent job. I have never tried painting a car with it, but I have had excellent results using oil based urethane finishes. I would recommend trying a practice panel first before doing the real thing.

Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well. I have had no problems with cracks or peeling (due to a flex additive) but for everyday use I feel it will wear through after everyday sliding back and forth as this is a thin material being sprayed and will take a few coats for decent coverage. The articles Ive sprayed in the past were chairs that did not get much use but looks good.But for the price it can't hurt to try. At worst just touch it up from time to time. Hope this helps a little anyway. Thanks. Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well.

it all depends on how bad the paint is on your car ; it can be done by hand on a car thats only been neglected to have been washed and waxed for a season or two ; i used a D&A; buffer on my triumph because it was fresh paint ; you should take a small spot on your car and try doing it by hand and see just how hard it is for you to get the paint to come back and shine.

Doesn't really look like it. Just buy Armor All Trim and Plastic Restorer. Restores plastic, vinyl, and rubber trim. Helps prevent fading, discoloration and oxidation. Helps prevent damage caused by UV Rays. With a detailer or wax, applicator, and Microfiber towel, you should be set. Or buy the complete kit, some should work. I once detailed our show car with our Armor All vinyl protectant by mistake and it really looked good. Won best of show. Hope this helped.

Agree with Joan. Just let it sit overnight. As with all of these touch-up paints, none of them last forever. You WILL occasionally have to re-touch once in a while. But Porcafix is SOOOO much better than the garbage that you will now find in Lowe's or Home Depot.

No paint touch up kit was included.Any black flat paint would work - something like rust - o - leum might be best.

I'll be honest... I haven't tried it yet... I would tell you that if the scratches are down to the primer, you're not going to get them out with compound. There is no paint to polish in that case. There are numerous repair specialists who can repair minor stuff like that for a couple hundred dollars (like fixing rock nicks in your bumper) in your driveway. Hope this helps

Yes, it works wonders!! I had to go over ther scratch twice on my car, but it doesn't take long at all. I did it a few months back and it still looks like the scratch was never there!

What you can do, is get touch up paint of the color of your car. Lightly build up layer after layer till it's above the paint scratch line.Let it cure for a 3 to 4 days. And then use the process with the quick scratch remover. Use the compound and bring it down to level with The paint line. And then buff with the finishing compound. It will probably turn out better than you think. Good luck

i called liquid glass themselves about this very question. they said the 'pre-'cleaner' [PC] will remove ONE layer of 'liquid glass' [LG], more than 1 layer will require mineral spirits (too scared to try that!?!. the PC says on the bottle something about removing paint and was hoping it would remove the touch-up paint, i let the PC sit and then buff 3 separate times and didnt see it removing the touch-up paint, said the hell with it and put more LG back on the areas where i used the PC and am now ready to start piling on the LG. i probably should have tried the mineral spirits on the touch-up paint but too worried about what else may happen to the original car paint. (if anyone is interested..... they offer their highest wax for only $12,500!!!!)

No don't use Spot X on the paint job...it scratches easily. It works wonders on glass.

I do not think this will have positive affects on the paint. It is an acid, and although it did not take the paint off of applications I applied it to, it did affect the paint, some flaked off, and what stayed on turned ash colored. If you plan on putting it on, then sanding and painting over the old paint there is no issues.
