Shake the bottle until you hear the bearing inside, not suppose to just open and apply.

diamond white pearl touch up is done in two stages. get 040 as the base coat and put 051 on as a second layer. i put on 051 all over my car before i noticed it did not match. superwhite underneath and pearl on top. dont buy the clear coat as the 051 has that in it.

Hey I got a red solara, and my bumper is all screwed up from rocks and crap, is the touch up any good? I have a friend who used to be a car painter who'll do it for me, can it get good or is it always kind of bad? What I mean is will the touch up paint look good or bad, if its done properly.
