can I use airbrush on a scratch

[rapidyellow]

there is a scratch on the wheel arch of my mx5, its only paint deep, can I repair it in any way using an airbrush? its mazda british racing green, its a solid colour but I am not sure if it has a clear coat

An airbrush will work but i find the best way is to touch up the scratch with a small brush over a few days(don`t worry about being neat as the idear is to fill the scratch with paint so it sits a little proud) then take some 1500 wet and dry and flat off the fresh paint with plenty of water until your level with the factory paint, at this point you should have a smooth but dull patch on the wing, finish off with a cutting compound (farecla g6 or similar) and a good wax. you should be left with a very fine line where the scratch was which unless you know about it you`ll never see it. Hope that helps.

Depending on the scratch, sometimes a toothpick works better than a brush.
