ok, tried to fix, with wet sanding and all, mad a mess, but the pain dries darker then the orig paint, wtf?
long story short.
had rock chips.
sanded one out nicely, one just below it wasnt as good retried, sanded but apparently i was sanding behind , got to primer.
lost paint pen, got another, apparently wrong color.
resanded to primer, now about half your pinky nail :(
reaplied correct color, darker, bumby, unable to sand off.
very dark.

are these steps right besides the sanding?
1. clean
2. use paint end of paint pen with toothpic or small paint brush
3. wait till dry a few days is best, few hrs min.
4. scratch x or sim for sanding marks
5. Paint dull and very dark.--- now what?

graphite grey.

saying f it and getting a body shop to fix it all. almost 400 later but at least it will be fixed. and they said they are going to give me a bottle with some base paint color in it, but again wouldnt this be dark after its set and dries?
