To Steve (and Christina), the touch-up paint sold in the small bottles by
Mazda is lacquer paint. I didn't see the original message, but if you are
having trouble with the T/P paint, remember that it is sold in the
thickness and with applicator in the bottle to essentially serve to fill
in chips. In any case the applicator makes it difficult because it serves
up too much paint. An alternative that many have used over the years is a
paper match stick from what might be a disappearing item (if we are
lucky-sorry, smokers). Back to the match old match book. Pull out a match,
turn it over, and dab the cardboard end into the paint. It will absorb
paint and allow a smoother, more modest amount to be applied at one time.
This especially works well with scratches in the paint.
