Need advice on repair

USAussie · 05-31-2013, 04:43 PM

Well these nasty and rather large chips in my paint were there when I bought it and I am not sure which route I should go to get it repaired. Should I take it to a body shop and get it resprayed or attempt touch up paint or something else? These are rather large and annoying. The one near the 370Z emblem is the largest and the stupid dealer sticker was over it and I had no idea it was that bad or large. I thank everyone in advance for the advice.

How do you go about doing that? Can you direct me to a good DIY on dr color chip and doing a clear bra?

Clear bra installation is not intended for non-professionals.

As far as Dr. Colorchip, they will send you directions with your kit. Be sure to follow them as they're written, especially in regard to letting the paint fully cure. If you don't give it enough time, when you wipe the excess paint off, you'll just take off the paint you used to fill the chip also.

Also understand that it may take multiple applications of paint to fully fill in the paint chip depending on its depth. What may have looked to be a completely filled paint chip may dry and end up not being level.

Also, if you have problems and end up getting blobs (which is common) use Langka- search for it on amazon.
