Paint Chip turned Nightmare. Help!

The clear coat on the Z is way to fragile for 1500 unless you are going to repaint. Plus, I bet you didn't use a sanding b;ock. That was mistake

The clear coat on the Z is way to fragile for 1500 unless you are going to repaint. Plus, I bet you didn't use a sanding b;ock. That was mistake #2. You should have used a product like Dr, Colorchip or Langka. Doing it the way that you did requires 24 hours between each application of paint. You rushed the job big time.

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.
