2 pack paint ?

Regular touch-up paint sticks should do the job. You really don't want to play wit two pack if you don't have the safety gear.

you can use ordinary cellulose or acrylic to touch up damage, they won't react. Don't get 2 pack unless you also buy the spray booth, air fed mask etc. 2 pack contains poisons and is very bad for you, it is for trained pros only.

Cyanide being the main one.

You'll not be able to buy two part in touch up quantities anyway.

Depends what you mean by touch up, touching up small paint chips or to actually spray/repair an area or panel?

You can use cellulose, acrylic or two-pack to touch up small paint chips using a small brush.

You can quite safely spray cellulose or acrylic to repair larger panel areas, but you should not spray twin-pack paint because it will contain Isocyanate.

Also if you spray an area with cellulose or acrylic over a twin-pack paint finish then expect it to go dull very quickly, usually within weeks of application.

Twin-pack or two-pack paints which are also called two stage component paints all dry/cure by chemical action, they use a catalyst or hardener which help retain a full gloss for a considerable time period (usually years), alternative paints finishes like cellulose, acrylic etc do not.

Most 2 packs are tolerent of acrylic (waterbased) paints

Some two pack paint reacts to cellelose based paint

You can buy sealers that you spray over the prepared affected area so the paints dont interact

Keep away from two pack paint unless you have a proper spray booth and saftey equipment some is quite toxic and not really suitable for diy use

I've noticed an increasing problem with buying cellulose products. Some wise guy in the EU has apparently decreed that cellulose is carcinogenic or something, and it's to be phased out. I haven't been able to buy anti-bloom thinners locally for a year or so.

Not surprising given the trade hasn't used it for years. And it's the thinners which are the main problem, emissions wise.

But you should still be able to order it up.
