Paint chip repair

kidkotic2001 · 07-16-2013, 02:30 PM

I noticed today when walking to my car a nice paint chip probably a rock or something to that matter.

Can someone give me recommendations to what type of paint chip repair to use. This will be my first time doing this as well.

If it's small enough, throw some touch up paint on it. Barely notice it for only $8.

+1 i use a tooth pick to apply. i mash the tip on my bench or something flat so that the toothpick tip can retain some paint.

i have 2 smaller than sesami sized chips on my front bumper, touched them up, clearbra'ed.

has anyone heard of a product called langka. it supposed to repair the chip but it does not include the car color. You have to get that yourself.

Yes. Langka is a kit based around a solvent meant to level off touch-up paint blobs after they've dried. It works very well.

Use Dr. Colorchip. Follow the directions and you won't have blobs.
