Obviously, that's steep but that's to get it back to perfect. I'm broke ass so I ordered the touch up paint and I'll see how I can manage. Might post pics of the finished result if I don't muck it up too bad.

Think twice before winter driving a pearl car with weak ass paint!!!
I have the same issue - a paint chip on the roof that has rusted. Do you need to do anything before using the paint touch up pen? I was thinking of getting one of the 2 way pens where one side is the paint, the other is the clearcoat.

Do I just apply the paint over the rust spot, let it dry, then apply the clearcoat?

Thanks for your advice - I know nothing about paint/detailing.
