Fresh out of the body shop :)

I need to get her some new shoes and I should have waited alittle longer after the clear coat before removing the tape from windows and headlights.

This car was hand painted as I am not to sure on my spray skills right now lol.

Does anyone have any tips for touch ups after a body has already been clear coated?

Well here she is anyway :)

Nice. Dig that Civic wing on there.

But you know, I don't get you guys who paint by hand because you don't think you're ready for spray paint.. I think it's easier to spray paint, and I could never get a hand painted job that smooth.
...crazy man, crazy...dig it.

looks nice VDM
I'm not sure you'd want to "touch-up" over clear coat, colors would be slightly off and unprotected.
if you really wanted to touch it up that bad, it might be better to just get rid of the paint all together and start over.

Thanks CW

I am thinking that the touch ups would me minor (to bad for the glare itmake it looks like it needs more then it really does), so since its gonna loose paint and get chipped while racing I will just leave it. Once its to bad I wil start over.

I saw the color changing paint in the Auto section at walmart I am thinking of pickin that set up :)
