Lanka for touchups anyone?

I'd really appreciate it if anyone in the San Diego area wants to share or sell their Lanka would let me know. Silver touch up paint too. I'm broke dude.

Touch up paint from the dealer and Langka would not fix scratches on silver. I tried so many times but couldn't get rid of the scratches so I gave up.

Not fix it???

What do you mean by not fix it? Does the colors not match? Does the paint not adhere to the car? (Too much wax buildup?) You're scaring me with talk like that.

A big stone flew up and nicked a fat chip off of my hood. I waxed over it so it wouldn't rust much but I want to fix it bad. Sort of hurts me inside you know...

oh yeah. Tell me about it. I got 2 deep scratches on the trunk lid. Got touch up pain from dealer. Ordered Langka. My hope was up 'till I tried it. Langka just removed the touch up pain completely. I tried to have the touch up paint dried for a whole week before applying Langka but it didn't work. I gave up now.

I'm not gonna sell the touch up paint since there is not much left. I think I'm gonna send the 2 bottles I got from Langka back and get my full refund. Sorry, dude.

I just bought touch up paint for SIlver Satin at Schucks for $2.99 each bottle (touch up and clear coat).

Surely you can afford that???

You might want to let the touch up paint sit for a few days before taking the excess off with langka...I did that and it worked just fine..Just be careful with how hard u rub, or else u'll rub the filled scratch out and all the paint will be removed(touch up paint, that is)

Well, I let it sat for a whole week, rubbed as light as possible. The Langka stuff still mixed in the paint and caused it to a paste which goes off easily.

Langka works fine for me. Don't forget to apply touchup and then Langka per updated directions. (Website) Use on a DRY day and let it sit for at least an hour. Don't use the touchup paints brush either. To thick and messy. I like toothpicks to apply. Build up the touchup over a couple of days. Nothing done well is ever rushed.

Good Luck

So far, only ppl with while car had luck with Langka. I emailed them to ask and they said Acura touch up paint dries too soft for Langka. They suggest to look for touch up from other source with the same color or close enough.
