Fix rock chips

Make sure you clean it really well before hand. I had a couple of bigger spots that had actually gotten through to the metal, so I cleaned them up with a duplicolor paint pen (have one for my other vehicle and they have a really useful abrasive tip) then I put on POR15 with a toothpick to prime and seal the metal, and then did Dr Colorchip over that once it cured.

Which POR15 product do you use? I have a couple chips that are deep.

Got my first 2 chips after 15 months. I have ordered Dr Colorchip sitting here and waiting for the weather to get better before using. I read many good reports about Dr ColorChip and that's the reason why I purchased it. BTW after the chips are repaired I'm having the full hood covered with Expel.

I used this stuff here:

POR-15 45004 Gloss black Rust Preventive Paint - 1 Quart https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H2VVL0S..._8Thhvb1GPPJGP

I had plenty on hand because I just sealed the frame of my jeep.
