I have a chevy 2000 cavalier. I started noticing patches (pictures posted below) on the top and in front of the car. I'm not sure if it needs touch up paint or waxing (I'm a total illiterate when it comes to car maintenance). Wondering if you guys can guide me to fix it myself. I searched through a couple of sites that sell touch up paint for this car (Cayenne Red Metallic I think?) Do I need anything else to buy to apply the paint? (Like spray bottle, paint brush etc.)

Don't use a brush even if paint can is sitting in hot water; brush strokes are inevitable. Sand bonnet to smooth surface using ever finer grades of wet & dry sandpaper. Clean off with wax & grease remover. Prop up bonnet to make level. Spray with acrylic primer- dry-resand-reapply-sand-again use wax & grease remover.Topcoat with acrylic paint of chosen colour. Spray cans are fine. Colour code to be found on compliance plate. All details of grades of sandpaper to use; application; drying times etc. are to be found on side of primer/paint spray cans.N.B. make sure surfaces and environment are dust free.

Skill level - anyone can do it.
