need touch up help, asap!

[charger]

I saw the PT cruiser paintjob on Monster Garage and fell in love with it . I copied the basecoat but added some black ghost flames to it. The problem is when I removed the tape, I have some small spots where I cut too deep and the tape removed a small thin line down to the primer. Is there a correct way to touch up and cover the lines without it looking crappy?The cutline is only on the basecoat area, not in the flame. The spot is in a very visible spot.

Paint:
1.basecoat-black
2.candy rootbeer
3.pagan gold

Geeze Charger, I read this post this morning and had hoped someone would reply. I couldn't really think of what to do at 5 in the morning. Anyways, this is how I would approach it. Get some fine line tape and outline the areas just off the cut lines. Then you need to tape off an additional 5 inches along the fine line. Get an airbrush and just touch it up. I am assuming the flames are the pagen gold and that has the fine metalic in it. I used that stuff and the metalic will travel so tape everything up real good. Also, please don't take this wrong, but next time clear coat over your base and then put the flames on top of that. That way if you make a mistake, you can sand it off or wipe it off with thinner.

There is probably better ways to handle your problem but, hope this helps anyways.

If the cut is where candy was laid down you're screwed for touchup basically.You can outline the flames in something to cover the scratch but that's about it.Clear before flaming next time and go a little easier with the blade.Don't feel bad,been there.
