Default Es300 year 2001 touchup paint help

Hello

I had lots of white spots on my black es300. I tries rubbing alcohol, compound but they remained same. Perhaps paint chipping. I files them up with exact touchup paint.
Now touchup spots doesn't look nice how can I smooth and match them up with the paint.

Any help

You may need to buff it out with a rotary buffer and pad. When repainting, a little goes a long way - use pen tip instead of brush as much as possible.

But you will not be able to get it to perfectly match the factory paint ever without painting the entire panel, so be aware of that.

Good luck :/ someone or something hit the top of my trunk where it curves to the smooth side. Now it's dented about an inch and rusted. I'm scared it's going to start spreading and peeling everywhere.
