Repairing tiny chips?

resdm50 · 06-23-2010, 05:28 AM

Hey everyone, I have a few mostly very small chips on various parts of my Z. 90% of the chips are probably no bigger than the head of a pen. I'd really like to get these all repaired, but I'm not sure what the best course of action would be. Is this something I should try and do myself or is there somewhere I should take it do get done? I picked up the Langka kit, but I'm really a novice when it comes to repairing paint chips.

Thanks for the input.

I think dealerships usually have someone who comes out to repair chips and the like. This might be worth a shot.

The Langka kit is great. Idiot proof and extremely effective. Please don't take it to the dealer. All they will do is get some kid making $10 an hour to slather on a bunch of touch up paint.

Yeah, I guess I'll give the Langka kit a try first and see where that gets me. Thanks for the comments so far.
