    Default RUST and TOUCH-UP

    Im in the process of treating my rust.now i cant find the colour to match as the car had been resprayed and the guy just made the colour (white) up.The closest i can find is alpine white but it is a bit too white.is it possible to instead of masking the touch up area....to overspray the paint over the rust and primer directly onto the existing paintjob without preping it.this would make the rectangle area less noticable.

    sounds liek a perfect excuse for a respray.

    nah, just take it to a panel beater or spraypainter and get them to colour match it and mix up some paint for you.

    or, yes, you could just spray a larger area, but it still might stand out being a different colour.

    yeh, just do a drive by on some of your local resprayers and such, just ask what theyd do for a little bit, 100ml maybe. as its only touchups.
