"One Shot" is an enamel based paint, that can be used. It's mostly for painting signs and pin stripping. You can mix and match. If you check with local paint stores, they may have it. If not PM me and I'll tell you where you can get it.

Today I received a water based liquid that can be mixed with your own powder. This liquid once sprayed only needs to be heated to flow out which can be done with a heat gun. I think this has a lot of posibilties for touch up and some other areas. I will let ya'll know how it works out.

Is that the stuff from Techline? I emailed them and never got a response.

Did the first trial on the techline product yesterday. I had a derby cover that fell off the table after I had coated it in mirror black. The edge chipped off about 3/4" around where it impacted the concrete. I took a small measurement of the product and mixed it per the instructions. You will need a small scale to weigh it properly. I then dabbed some on using a small hobby paint brush and let it completely dry. I then placed it in the oven and took it up to full cure temp. The results were great it flowed and cured just like powder. I then sanded it smooth and polished the area out.

I have in the past tried several products to touch up parts including acetone, lacquer thinner and water and none of those worked.

My next trial will be to use it as a filler for pits before powder coating a part.
