I have a 95 Riviera which I plan to use as testing area prior to fixing some spots on my G35 coupe. I am planning on basically removing excess touch up paint on the G?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!:wall: :bow :confused:

hey

removing excess touch up paint is difficult due to the fact that all around that area is factory clear. If you sand, even with a 2500 grit you risk going through the clear around the excess paint on your G. Infiniti has incredibly thin and soft clear so I would tread very carfully.:xyxthumbs

Hi wjfm1,

Leveling blobs of touch-up paint is very difficult to do without harming the surround paint. The best advise I can offer is to clean the affected area well with alcohol, then apply a very small amount of touch-up pant using a very small, fine tipped artist paint brush, (#000), or a toothpick. Then walk away and let the touch-up paint dry. As it dries, it will tend to shrink-back. Then after it has shrunk-back, apply some more if needed.

The goal is to avoid creating a blob in the first place.

Some people have good luck using these also to level touch-up paint.
