Try using a cocktail stick to apply the touch up paint.

Very fine artists paint brush for me.

 

[Darren]

yeah wasnt gonna use the thing that comes wi it. so just apply paint, wait to dry, then lacquer, then dry, then polish over?

how much was it mate? got a fewb chips myself

 

[Darren]

£6.52 + vat from renault.

good price i thought

 

[Rich]

I only ever use the base colour, never bother with the laquer.

Nice thin layers of the base coat, till it becomes level, allow to cure for a few weeks and polish back.

Like Rich says . Never bother with the lacquer , its actually cheaper to get the paint made up at a local car motor factors . I had some 600ml aerosols made up for the same price as the renault touch up paint and the colour match is exact .

Just spray some in the lid , use a cocktail stick , build it up slowly so it stands slightly proud and sand down with some 2000 grit wet n dry after leaving for a week for the paint to go off , then polish up with megs scratch X , job done .
