Can you touch up Cyber Orange paint?

[XUOHTX]

I have a pretty bad chip on my A-pillar. (No idea how this happened). With Cyber Orange being a tri-coat, can it be touched up? Anyone have tips? This is something I've never tried to do before.

Well I searched a little more and found this post. May have answered my own question. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...cement-and-touch-up-paint.36154/#post-1195092

Definitely. Motorcraft's touch up paints are around 20-25 bucks and they have a basecoat and a topcoat, and a little abrasive thing on the end to rough it up.

Thanks. Looks like this is what I would need.

Get the OEM touch-up here…. It says Bronco Sport, but the paint code (SB) is the same. I’ve used it, along with the clear coat brush, and it’s brilliant. Just remember: Be patient, go slow, and less is more.

Did you use a primer?

Also, go to the 14 min. mark of this vid and use this guy’s method of application: Absolutely brilliant. I’ve never had a touch-up look this good until I used this guy’s method (using masking tape).

For the clear coat, I just used the foam applicator that came with the OEM paint, as it allowed me to spread a very thin layer of clear (2 coats).

No. And he’ll explain why in the vid, too. But basically, the primer will add an extra layer that’ll cause the area to be raised in the end. We’re not machines, so we can’t put these coats on as thinly or efficiently, so he skips that step. And I’ll be honest, I’ve always skipped primer and NEVER had an issue with adherence, or a chip, afterwards. However, I NEVER skip the clear. Always put on clear to seal job.
