touching up on truck

[400exfan19]

on my truck i have a custom paint which is expensive to match. I have a bit of paint left but not all that much. Not enough to fit in a sprayer. Any1 have any other tips on how i can touch up on scratches and small paint chips? without making it look terrible or paying any money to get it done.
thanks alot!

does it look bad if you just take a very fine paint brush and just fill in a scratch?

you have to have a VERY VERY smooth hand and touch for paint scratches. I have watched troy do it at his body shop and he said its really really hard not to mess up, he spent 30 minutes on a 1 inch long scratch on my mom's jetta....i wouldnt attempt that but you could take the paint and have a body shop just touch up a scratch provided you do the prep and finish. That would prolly be the cheapest way.

ill look into it, you know what the costs are? its usually quite overpriced

you may be able to use one of those modle car airbrushes to do it.....should work
