    GENERAL RULE OF THUMB FOR TOUCHING IN PAINT CHIPS !
    DONT USE ANY BRUSH THAT COMES WITH THE PAINT,THEY ARE GENERALLY TOO WIDE AND PUT FAR TOO MUCH PAINT ON THE BLEMISH .
    PAY OUT FOR A THIN BRUSH FROM AN ARTIST SHOP AND APPLY IN THE AREA WITH THE CHIP ONLY.
    THE MORE PAINT THAT YOU PUT ON THE CHIP THE MORE IT WILL STAND PROUD / REFLECT THE LIGHT AND BE NOTICABLE !

    SOME PEOPLE USE T-CUT AFTER APPLICATION BUT I WOULD NOT BOTHER AS MOST GOOD QUALITY POLISH PRODUCTS HAVE AN ELEMENT OF ABRASIVE IN THEM ANYWAY !

    GOOD LUCK
