Touch ups :)

Make sure area is clean, and wax free (panel wipes, or thinners) use touch up pen, or do like i did, and simply spray some paint into a suitable tub, add lacquer, then apply(i used a cocktail stick) to damaged chip/scratch, you will know when you have put enough paint in, as it will "dome", and be raised. leave for 24hrs, then using a small piece of 800, with plenty of soapy water, important to keep it lubed, flat it down near to surface level so its still raised, then use 1500 to get down further, then use 2000 to finish. next use a rubbing compound, followed by colour restore, then wax.
 
What rubbing compound and color restorer did you use? Any name in hallfraud I could look at?
Cheers.
 
Did a bit more today, bit of rust on front wing, this time using spray can.
