This is why I tell guys to stay away from touch up paint and sandpaper unless they either know what they are doing or they are using one of the kits that I mentioned above. The paint on these cars is very unforgiving when doing anything with sandpaper, especially 1500-2000 grits.
yea I had a feeling this paint was soft. I'm taking your advice though. I'm buying both dr colorchip and langka just in case I get knocked with another rock outside the clear bra.

The weird thing, is that as soon as I messed up the first chip, I used 3000 grit on the other one, and it still destroyed the paint. You're completely right about just staying away from sandpaper on this car.

Learn the hard way I guess. Oh well... Less money to loose in vegas lol.
