Flamenco Black Pearl Touchup
So I've finally removed all the graffiti off my car, the only problem is that there's some very noticable spots where the acrylic based paint seems to have eaten into the paint. I was thinking about doing a regular touch-up, but then when I was detailing I looked closer and remembered that I have a very pearly paint color. Does anyone have any suggestions ?
What i plan to do for all of the spots was to use either a touch-up pen (doubt it) or my HVLP gun + a lot of sanding. (The parts needing attention are small, but there are quite a few of them)
so it'd be:
Sand w/ 600grit until the area is smoothened out (1"x1")
clean it + lay a thin coat of primer
sand w/ 1000 until smooth
touch-up paint
no sand for base coat right?
touch-up paint 2nd coat
sand w/ 1500
touch-up 3rd
sand w/ 2000
touch-up clear
sand w/ 1000
touch-up clear
sand w/ 1500
touch-up clear
sand w/ 2000
buff and polish + wax (non-synthetic)
Im really noob, so i could use all the help I can get not that worried about ruining anything, but would like to be able to fix this stuff

Re: Flamenco Black Pearl Touchup (dagle)
Blacks are a royal PITA to touch up and blend, especially pearls.. you have to know what pressure how many and how wet the coats need to be to blend it right and have it look right under all lighting conditions....You might be better off to leave it, or perhaps repaint the car..sucks to say but sometimes its easier that way.
