yer people say it only wrks to a certain degree which i kinda expect cause of car changin colour over years cnt be exactly right. Did u use primer n the lacquer. I recently bought the 3 pen kit stone chip and scratch repair system wicked red one. U reckon i should test it out on sme scratches inside the boot first just to see how it goes. Bin readin through the info on the case and it seems like u gta do a lot of waitin and re coatin. Got a shakey hand 2 which dnt help.

You can get excellent results from it when you know how.

I got paint from halfords not only did the bloke completly fucked up the paint ratio and wasnt my colour, and because the scratch was so big the paint made it look even worse! i had to T cut all the paint off, thankfully the paint and t cut together took away the whitness of the scartch and now its barley noticable but the T cutting was hard work., dam halfrauds...

I was going to get a touch up paint for my stone chips which have appeared,,but for the scratches i have got,,i got a cloth and some t-cut and now you cant see them,,so t-cut is good for scratches i reckon.(I have a posi blue saxo btw)But if i wanted some touch up paint i would prob go for the citroen option,,or my dad said wait until the winter and get a company i think it was summit chip and they come out to you and blend in the chips professionally.
