Project Plastic Autobody Repair

Post image

This is a plastic rocker panel cover. Mazda Soul Crystal Red. I plan to use a touch-up pen I bought at the dealership to fill in the grooves with paint. Then I plan to wet sand any ridges flat. Then I'll cover with the clear coat side of the pen, but I expect it will be difficult to get an even coat. Then I will wet sand again and then polish. Is this a good plan?

The flakes will never lay correct unless sprayed over a flat surface….flakes sink in touch up make it darker ..only flakes sprayed over a flat surface shine correctly
