I have applied a layer of touch up paint from halfords [correct code] and it is a lot darker; anyway - never mind that.
How do I get it smooth and shiny without taking off the surrounding paint?
many thanks in advance!

each to their own beliefs but any professionally trained refinisher like myself knows and will back me up when I say that cans don’t work long term .... I’ve managed to get small jobs look good for about a 2 -5 days then the paint just sinks and turns satin to matt.

That must have been a pretty crap job to turn a finish into matt in 5 days, just saying. Have never had a paint job sprayed with cans for satin finish though.
My Dad has rattle canned me spoilers, wings etc no problem to this day.

i'm a professional and have been for over 10 years and i'm not going to back you up, decent results can be had from cans and last alot longer than 2-5 days, you must be using poundland cans

so you can honestly say that you can get a car looking like a refinishers standard with cans, if you can then your the best painter ever lol like i say each to their own beliefs me personally think its a waste of time if ye wanting a top job doing if im wrong then il be first to admit it but im still waiting for somebody to prove to me you can, im looking in to it abit too much it is a diy job after all .... but anyways it has gone off subject a little,.... pens are pointless, cans are the next best thing i suppose follow the guide that mrziggers has posted ... sorry for the high jack pugpaul
