Touch-up paint has got to be THE WORST marketed automotive product EVER! It globbs on thick so you have to use a pin to put in in the rock chip and when it dries--it looks like ashy ****! So, naturally, you assume to put some clear coat paint on it, which only raises the paint up above the rest of the body. So instead of a rock chip or scratch your car, now, has either a wart or a scar! I hate that stuff! It's only good if you want to weak on small parts and make them match your exterior (e.g. mazda wheel emblems, etc.).

I wish the guy who invented touch-up paint dies in a c.f.!

Just a thought....but why couldnt you just thin down the touch-up paint and
just apply many coats?
