Suggest a search - this has been treated in detail many times. I will say that I have never been able to get the Langka to work right - and my questions to Mothers were never answered, so i will never buy anything from them again. CS stinks.

I found the DGB Honda paint was an excellent match - I use a toothpick or a paper match cut to a Vee for spot T/U's.

Tried Langka here too, but it was tough to get to work right, especially on WDP. The only way to really do it right is to apply the paint carefully using a toothpick, fine brush, or whatever, and to then sand down and polish. Not sure how noticeable the chips are or if you get a lot of salt or other elements, but always a good idea to patch up if you can, especially if it's down to the metal. You might need primer between the metal and the paint. Good luck!

Langka is now owned by Mother's. Same product, just different packaging.

yea, the clear bra id a great way 2 protect the front end unless the scratch is higer than that..... i only use touch up when the scratch appears white on dark colored cars or vise virsa... if u hav to use touch up paint, i suggest cheaning it really good while not using wax. then apply the paint and use wax after it dried.. i used it on our toyo land crusier which had a matallic color and worked ok. one more thing, what color is ur car? if its matallic, be sure 2 shake the touch up paint ALOT!!! if u dont, the pain will hav no sparkles and wont match the car

my TL-S A-spec is a Aegena Blue...
they are very very small scratch and chips....
i just want to know how to apply the touch up paint smoothly to blend into the hood.
one of them is a hair-line scratch about 3 milimeters, and the other 2 are like small points caused by something sharp like a needle. its like how a compass would create a small hole in a peice of paper...

i'm a newbie at touch up paints.

It's usually impossible to apply touch up paint and have it blend smoothly into any surface without having to do some sanding and polishing. The process is normally to use a toothpick or fine brush to apply the touch up paint in a small 'blob' that rises slightly above the level of the surrounding paint. Once dry, you would wetsand the blob down to the level of the surrounding paint, and then polish out the sanding marks. The Langka/Mothers Chip Repair kit might work as well, but my experience with it wasn't that great.

ou sig

I got a little bottle of paint from the dealer, that worked quite well
