Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
if the white primer is showing through, there is no way to polish them out. They are too deep. They need touching in with paint, or the panel re-spraying
yes, less is more, be very patient and use as little as possible and build back up. Its sometimes easier to drop into the scracth using a cocktail stick rather than the massive touch up pen brushes.
I use the pens from halfrauds. They are much easier than the brushes and the nib follows the scratch exactly.
I agree with the comment above, less is more, but you need to lacquer it on top if you want the paint to last, otherwise it will just wash off eventually.
Halfrauds do a set for the fabia black magic paint which is a close enough match for scratches and chips. Afterall it will never look great, but at least its better than nothing.
My main reason to touch up the paint is to stop rust, not just for asthetic reasons.

If the scratches have been touched up but the paint is higher than the paintwork, what is the best way to flatten it down to the same level and blend it in?
I have read that you can use very fine wet and dry sandpaper then pollish out the very light scratches left behind, I have a porter cable which helps alot getting out the swirl marks etc but just wondering best way to tackle this.
