Touching up small chips
 
Hey guys before winter hits, I wanted to touch up some of the small chips I've accrued over time. I was thinking about getting it done professionally and my question is - has anyone else gone this route? If so, how were the results and what was the cost?

Just as some background, none of the chips are large at all (most of them in the wheel arch area) and my car is black.

I touched up a number of chips on my hood and fenders recently and it turned out really good. Just get a small bottle of paint from Touch Up Paint Online - Remove Car Scratches and use the end of a toothpick to apply the paint if the chips are really small. Cost about $12 total.

Thx for the advice guys, I guess I'll try and do it myself and see how it turns out.

There are two products specifically designed for the novice in paint chip repair. One is called the Langka System and the other is by Dr. Colorchip. Either will work with the Langka System being the one that requires the most amount of time and patience. As long as you use the products exactly as the manufacturer directs, you will have success with either product.
