Paint chip questions....

[TypeR]

I have some paint chips here and there on my front bumper on my Championship White Type R and i have the touchup paint...just wondering if you guys have any good techneques or anything on how to fill them or what tools to use to do it? I wonder is a body shop will know what to do to get them out?

Never use the brush if supplied with your touch-up paint. For thin scratches use a ball point pen dip in the the paint a little and just follow the line slowly. For stone chips with basic touch-up you should use a tooth pick applying small amounts at a times until the new paint is level with the old paint. re-painting the area w/ the stone chips is the best way - but usually expensive.

**Black color cars** - get yourself a black fine point SHARPIE marker. Works great for stone chips. It does wash off after a few months, but is simple to do again

Using the marker on other colors works ok, it's really hard for it to match the paint.

If you must use the brush trim the brush hairs. See what works for you start off by removing 50%. 1 brissel works the best - takes longer.
