    Does anyone have any secret or special ways to put on touch up paint so you don't see the brush marks quite so much?

    Thanks. I know this is a stupid question, but you never learn anything unless you ask, what exactly is wet sanding? I assume it is just using 2000+ grain sandpaper while it is wet.

    you got it. Just dunk it in some water and go to town. Don't let it dry out cause thats not so good for the paint

    With the touch up paint, I try not to have to brush it. I just get a very small amount on the brush and dot it on.

    So the best I could find was a 320 grit sanding sponge at Home Depot. Needless to say that didn't work at all. What is the real number grit sandpaper that I can find and where can I find it?

    you can find 2000 grit at any auto parts store.. and i recommend the primer pen so the paint will stick better, also get the clearcoat.. i would do more than one coat on the paint and clear
