I`ve already done a LANGKA search but still have three questions: 1. Does it work well on solid colors? 2. It LANGKA just an over-the-counter solvent put in a small package? 3. Would I get the same results with acrylic laquer thnner or acrylic enamel reducer?



Over the past 40 years, I have become pretty good at touch-ups on solid colors, especially black, using a procedure similar to that described by David B. in BetterCarCar.com. Is LANGKA worth a try?

1) Yes, actually better than metallics

2) No, there are other ingredients

3) Not likely, but anything`s possible.



"Is Langka worth a try?"



If you`re quite proficient at wetsanding touch-up spots, Langka isn`t worth the money. However, I`ve seen more attempts taken down to primer or bare metal accidentally than I can count on 2 hands. For those of use who don`t know when to stop wetsanding, Langka is a good deal - remember, the worst you`ll do is wipe away all the touch-up and have to start over.



That`s more than I can say for wetsanding.

Forrest,



Thanks for the information. I`ll give Langka a try. I get mighty nervous with that sandpaper or sanding nib in my hand.
