  OFFICE MEMO          touchup query                          Date:7/4/94
I have just touched up a couple of deep nicks on the hood of my black '93C. I
noticed that the Mazda touchup paint after drying was a muddier black than the
surrounding paint. Any thoughts as to how to get an exact match? Also, I
thought I was being careful with the wet and dry sanding using little discs
glued to pencil erasers. Wrong. The tiny pads ate into th surrounding paint
noticeably. I used 1000, 1500, 2000 and Meg's. #9 in sequence. Should I try to
fill in the 3mm D. spots or leave the area alone. BTW, I also posted an inquiry
concerning a nose mask - it is for the '93 black which seems to have very
fragile paint.
thanks,
