    Removing touch-up paint

    hello fellow members. i have touched up my bumper with the correct paint color. well the problem is it looks like black paint on top of a gray exterior. i did shake the bottle up. it really looks bad. any thoughts on how to redo this or remove it and start again? thanks.

    if its dry your going to need and wet sand some to level..if its down in the cracks that could be almost impossible to get out...that`s been my experience with it

    No worries!!!! Just go to Wal-Mart and pick up some Goo Gone Xtreme Remover. I use it for removing dried and cured touch up paint and it works wonders. It will not hurt the clearcoat, but wash it off when you`re done.

    i guess i`ll try if you have tried it. would it be stupid to reapply (touch up paint) after shaking it more or will it layer too much and become bumpy?
