Touch-up paint

[Brian Dettling <aa821@acorn.net>]

Regarding the factory touch-up paint.  I believe it (used to be) is 
lacquer.  On my 87 flash silver, I touched up the door dings i received 
from my apartment neighbors.  Later when it started to rust, went back to 
VW and inquired about the 10 year rust through warranty.  "Did you touch 
it up?"  Well, yeah, used the VW stuff you sold me.  "Sorry, you're not 
covered."  
The factory touch-up paint is (slightly) moisture permeable, so rust 
never sleeps.  Later saw an Audi touch-up paint kit.  Had a moisture 
impermeable clear coat paint stick included.  Guess if I really wanted to 
tilt at windmills, I could have argued, but I kinda feel I'd still have 
rusty door handle surrounds, so I paid $$$ to body shop.  Long story 
there, too. Allot time to make sure all the stuff on your car works when 
you pick it up.  Unhooking stero stuff and breaking power door linkages 
may not be noticeable at first.
