Touch Up Paint

Hey Guys,

Has anyone bought or used touchup paint from Acura?

I had a bottle given to me when I got the car, but I tried to use it yesterday, and it was so thin and watery, so hard to used and barely covers up spots.

Just wondering if thats how it is, or do I have a bottle gone bad.

I would have thought it would have been thicker and allow you to cover spots.

my bottle was pretty thin as well.
I even went over the spot 5 times after it dried. it still didnt fill in the "oops" but it color matched it.

I see you have the WDP color. So do I. Yes, the paint is very watery. You need a minimum of 3 coats for it to hide the chips. You can do even 5 coats. You need to wait at least 30 mins. between coats on a warm dry day, longer otherwise.

My experience is that it will not fill in the void.
