They don't make the little touch-up kits for Sprint for some reason, so buy this:

Spray onto somat to collect the paint then touch in with a fine-tipped paint brush. Finally, lacquer over & wax to finish.

i may be able to help you out as i am in touch with a massive manufacturer of ceramic sealant and they are ready to unleash a touch up kit with each individual manufacturer colour...the kit also includes a small amount of ceramic to protect what you need to....i will keep you updated....

Good tip for you all. The best place to get a decent brush for doing touch ups is either a model Shop like model zone or an artists supplies Shop. Normally they have very fine tips but nice thick handles so you can keep a steady hand when using them :bigblink:

Plain old wooden toothpick is the best I found on a few of my older cars, brushes hold to much paint in my experience.

I use a power washer nozzle cleaner, dip in paint, hold in chip and let paint run down into chip. Let dry then, buff flat with a bit of polish.
