Coverup paint chips

eastsyder · 02-25-2012, 02:04 PM

I got lots of little paint chips on my hood and bumper. Really annoying. Anyone have suggestions on covering these up and sealing them? Thanks

You can buy a touch up oen from the dealer for a few bucks. There's also a company called Dr. Color Chip. Search those two and it will lead you lots of tips and ideas.

Dr. color chip befor and after

They're super annoying and I don't think you can fill the void unless you repaint

Clear bra.

I have had some success by using factory touch up paint, and mixing in a small amount of urethane clear w/hardener. This gives you the ability to buff over when dry, and works rather well.

But in order to get them out I would give doctor color chip a try like SPOHN said.

Looks impressive. Much easier than what ive been doing. I just ordered a kit.

Deep ones you can take care of with touch up paint & Langka. There's a steep learning curve to Langka but once you get the hang of it you can go pretty quick and get results that are undetectable.

If you're using touch up paint and it has any suspended particles (candy, metallic), shake the crap out of it. Like 5 minutes. And then recap and shake again every 60 seconds as you use it. That's why the metallics are so hard to match, all the flakes settle out very quick.
