Get a bottle of touch up paint from the dealership.

Buy a paint chip repair kit from Mothers.

Use the two in combination, and the paint "globs" left from the touch up are gone, and now level with the rest of the paint.

Never a good thing.

You're looking at about $20 for the kit, and probably $3 for the touch up. But the kit can be used A LOT.

From what I've seen, you dab the touch up paint on.

Then grab an old T shirt (or similar materail), and wrap it around the plastic card.

Put goop on card.

Rub.

Wipe clean.

BAM
