Why touch up if the touched up area is still visible?
Touch up technique is more economical as it is a lot more easier if not easy and straight-forward. The work scope or area is kept to its minimum as only the affected area is being worked on, therefore less hassle. Nevertheless, the most important reason for using paint touch up is to ensure the exposed area, be it in the scratch or chip, will not turn rust or corroded that will eventually lead to a larger damage to the paintwork. It is more cost-effective to use touch up rather than respraying. There are more downsides in respraying work than in touch up. Paint cracks, pop-out, dual tone colors, more expensive etc….just to name a few.
