Should I sand touch-up paint before clear coat?
We usually recommend not sanding between touch up base color paint, clearcoat, and primer coats. However, if a little dirt lands in the paint you may let the paint dry and sand out the speck. If you’re having an issue with too much texture or getting runs in the paint, you may want to sand.
Will touch-up paint blend in?
Matching the original paint job is the most difficult part and is subject to obstacles such as if the same paint used on the project is available and the age of the paint on the wall, which may have discolored with time. But, if done correctly, a touch-up should blend acceptably with the surrounding paint area.
Will touch up paint eventually blend in?
Unfortunately, in most cases the answer is no. There are a few circumstances where it can be done with good results, but in most instances the touched up spot will not blend in, but rather result in a slightly different color that looks even worse than the original blemish.
