How to remove crappy touch-up paint
The person that had the car before me used some not-so-color-matched touch-up paint and it looks pretty bad... I want to go buy some from the Honda dealer that is the color of my car... is there a way to remove the old touch-up paint? Or do I have to go over the old paint...?
Thanks,
John

if there is no clear coat over the paint, you can use lacquer thinner on it, it wont harm the clear coat of your car if used sparingly. Use a q-tip dipped in lacquer thinner and rub the bad paint out, then clean and sand the spot, prime it, sand it, paint it, sand it, paint it, sand it, clear coat it, sand it, should look quite nice =)
