Large Paint Chip
2 Attachment(s)
Hello all,
I have a somewhat large paint chip on the driver's side skirt. It seems that it is entirely cosmetic, almost like a large flake of paint came off - but the plastic underneath is not gouged. My question is I was wondering if Dr. Colorchip can work for this type of repair? or is that only for very small rock chips? Pictures attached(the car is very dirty on the close up one, sorry), the area is 1-1.5 inches long. Thanks in advance for any advice. |
Bump for some help, anyone?

The best thing to do would be to get touch up paint from the dealer. You'll need to put multiple thin coats on ensure to let each coat dry before applying the next. It'll probably take about 8 coats to get even coverage. Once the spot is slightly above the rest of the paint level, you can wetsand it down with 2500 grit paper and then polish the spot. If you take your time, you'll barely even notice it. The key is multiple thin coats.

I dunno, looks a bit too large to me. I'd have that at the shop.

:iagree:

Go to the dealer and see if their mobil touch up paint guys can fix it up, they can do it for a $100 or so. Do not bother with touch up paint, it will look like arse.

Thanks a lot for the advice guys, appreciated.
