Touch up paint - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Anybody used the mazda touch up paint? I wanna get some of these scratches off my bumper and what not and off the side.

I bought some at the dealer. It works alright. You still see the scratch. I have a black mica MS6 that my daughter autographed with her bik when she was learning how to ride. Got the driver side door and front panel. about an 8" scratch.

The biggest issue is the size of the brush that comes with it. You will need a much finer tip brush to fill in.

I totally agree about the brush tip size. The one that comes with the touch up bottle is the same size as a finger nail polish brush tip. It's totally useless for fine thin scratches.

I've actually pulled 1 bristle from a broom and used that. It works well!

anyone used those pens? The ones at the auto parts stores work okay, but anyone use those one's they advertise in the back of magazines?

I used the pen from autozone... works great.. covers up scratches very well, but ofcourse, not perfect.. I'm sure other people can't tell it's there.. but I can.

Has anyone else tried this kit they sell @ Checkers.. it includes the touch up paint, special sanding tool, and a buffer? $30.00

I have the Mazda bottle with the big brush. I used the edge of the bottom of the brush to get into a few scratches.

My brother closed the garage door as I was pulling out. I backed into and bent the door. The door stopped itself but then reversed itself and scratched up the spoiler a bit. The white is paint transfer.

-Vegetable oil: great for the coat, cheap, and easy to add to the grain
-MTG: works wonders to make the hair grow over a scar, or add length to the mane/tail
-Paprika: prevents sun-bleach and adds a nice shine to dark colored horses (black/bay or paint/appaloosa with black/bay spots). Add 2 tablespoons to the grain a day, mixed into it well. The horse usually doesn't even taste it. There is another product called "black as knight" but paprika does the same thing and is much cheaper.
-Flax seed: GREAT for the coat, you can buy it in treats too. They are called "FlaxSnax" and are great for the coat.
-Regular brushing/bathing: This is the best way to ensure a good shine. Rub the coat daily with a curry comb and then finish with a soft rag to get rid of dead skin cells and add a shine. If you only groom well right before a show, that's like only brushing your teeth right before going to the dentist... they can tell! Looks a lot better if you remove dead skin/hair daily.
-Keep the horse inside during the day and outside at night to prevent sun bleaching in the summer. If you can't do this, put on a fly sheet and lots of sunblock.

Don't put an egg in the grain... horses are herbivores and aren't meant to eat eggs, plus a raw egg is just as bad for them as it is for us.

Thanks
