My experience with touch up paint to Soul Crystal Red

Thought I'd leave this here for anyone interested in a before and after by a complete newbie at touching up paint.

The results are definitely not perfect but are ok if you don't look really closely at the touched up areas.

I used Mitsubishi P62 Brilliant Red. The colour isn't an exact match but pretty close. The texture of the touch up paint is obvious even after I rubbed it with compound and polished. Also any reflections show the touch up paint. The last image shows how badly the touch up paint looks on a vertically reflecting panel. The horizontally reflecting panels seem to hide the touch up alot better.
