One disadvantage of Imron and other polyurethane paints is they have
hardener. So there is no way to have a paint shop put the paint in a
small aerosol can and use it periodically to paint your chips,
scratches etc. If you did this, it would harden.


You can have acrylic enamel mixed to match and use it for touchup. Aerosol
for touchup is not the way to go. There are much better methods. Get a good
auto paint manual for instructions.


For small touch up spots Imron will dry ok without the activator mixed
in. I have been using Dupont on all my street rods, hydros, race cars
and alot of other things too. Now that it's getting to the 300. $ a
gallon level my currect choice is to powdercoat as much as I can. Also
I want to add, Imron is nasty stuff to spray but it is not as bad as
some people make it out to be. The post that started this mentioned
paint peeling off, thats the failure of the prep work/ primer
application, not the paint itself.
