Make my own touch up paint for BC/CC
Got some chips and dings I want to touch up and have some leftover base and clear, any pointers?

This is what I suggest. First you sand the area with 2000 grit for adhesion. Use the base color to hide the exposed undercoat (primer). Once that is accomplished and dry, combine some base color into some activated clear and fill in your touch up repair. After a couple of days cure time, sand level. Follow with buffing and polishing.

Yep. Pick up a 00 or 000 pinstripe brush for a neat repair. I like Mack brushes for touch-up and striping, pricey but they'll last a lifetime.
