average joe to average joe - even if you're okay with just touching it up, you still want to remove the cancer (rust) before you paint over it. :)

I guess I'm going to be picking up 2000grit sandpaper tomorrow...

I got a couple spots under wheel well.. stupid stock tires picking up bunch of crap from the road!!

Question from Avg JOE: Would you recommend against it if I was to simply paint over the troubled spots?

For the average Joe, Dr. Colorchip or the Lankga system! Don't make it harder than it is. These outfits have come up with a way to handle paint chips so that no sandpaper is involved. That is always a safer option.

hey guys, i have a little chip on my door. where can i get some good touch up paint? (2009 370z yellow)
-thanks, mike

Dealership? They can match your car's paint by the paint code.
