Ok, I just recently bought a `98 M3 sedan, Alpine white. Overall the condition of the paint is very good, in fact from 20` the car looks awesome, but...

There are several places where one of the PO`s did some chip/scratch repair with a poorly matching touch-up paint; if it weren`t so durable I`d say it was `White out` due to the way it is blobbed on.

Other than wet-sanding do I have any options for removing this?

I don`t suppose the Langka system will work on touch up paint that has been in place for a long time?

Thanks,

Russ

I deal with this all the time.. acetone, then buff. damp a cloth with acetone and let it sit on the spot for 10-20 seconds.. rub gently to get it off.. if it doesnt come off, let it sit for a little bit longer.. dont rub hard as that can cause a nasty mark.
