need some assistance, have a couple of knicks in my 70, it is painted with base coat/clear coat, which and what kind of brush is best for minor knick repair, and if possible where to buy, thanks steel

I used the brushes that are part of the bottles we send with touch-up paint. That is until a coworker told me to use his pin striping brush on a touchup.... man what a difference. That would be my recommendation. I picked up a set at the car swaps last time I was there, but your local paint store should have them too. Another trick is if the chips are deep put a little "glaze coat" (can't think of a proper term for it right now graemlins/clonk.gif ) in them before painting. Just make sure you dont make a mess with it. this levels it off and really makes for a nice, repair without spraying. Best of luck, and NICE CAR!! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

thanks, glaze coat, hmmmmm, sorta understand can someone else chime on that one, dont want any mistakes, steel

I use the small paint brushes you buy at hobby stores and trim about half of the bristles out of them and cut them down to a point. Much cheaper than the pin striping brushes and the same result.

I acutally use then end of a match(booked), not the striker side, but the butt end. LOL, it sounds weird but it works. A cut down brush like Z28 said also works, its just gotta be stiff.

I also use the end of a cardboard match stick the ones in the booklets. after a build up of a few layers of paint i take a razor blade and swip it a few times to clean any burs off it then i bend it alittle to make a curve then i cut the xtra paint off to make it flush with old paint then sand, polish, and wax looks like new.

The razor blade trick works good on runs and sags as well to remove much of the excess while the paint is on the fresh side. I apply some masking tape over the corners of the blade and drag it over the area and it shaves the excess materal off nice and smooth. Just don't do it on paint that is too fresh- rubbery(is that a word?) After most of the excess paint is cut off let it completely dry and wetsand then buff. Sorry, I forgot the question was about brushes, HAHA

These work good too--
