Paint Touch Up System: Repair of Long Metallic Scratch

[hanwooj]

Why wasn't the red putty used for this case?

@hanwooj This scratch is shallow and paint alone is enough to fill it. The test: drag your fingernail over the scratch. If it stops in the scratch...use putty first. If not...pure paint.

If you polish/buff this area will the area POP off?

@reflectionsdetail No, this is real paint. Real permanent. I suppose if you rubbed paint thinner on the spot for a while that the repair would come out. But car washing, buffing, polishing, waxing, pressure washing, and clay barring won't remove the pencil-thin line of touch up paint.
