Clear Coat Touch-up for Wheels
Does anyone know if a touch up size Clear Coat is available? I used to buy them from any parts store in one of those nail polish sizes. They only seem to have spray cans. I only need to cover about 1 square inch worth.
thanks

I use the spray. I spray some into the cap and then use a brush to apply it.
I also found that for colors, the paint will get a little thicker as it dries in the cap and with multiple uses in the cap. When it is a little thicker, it is easier to apply and build to fill a paint chip.
Good luck.
PS.
For a touch up you are probably fine, but I did a refinish and used Duplicolor wheel clear that didn't last. After about a year it started to yellow, and by two years it started to crack and flake off.
