No
matter how careful you are, it's bound to happen. so here's
how to fix it. To make sure you get the right color paint,
stop by your local dealer and tell them the make, model,
and color of your car, and they'll match it all up for
you. Once you've got the right color, follow the instructions
below.
Take
isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) on a q-tip and dab
it in the rock chip a few times. Take a clean towel
and the dry chip. Take a match out of a match book.
Use the opposite end of the head. Dab this in touch-up
paint. (Do not thin out touch-up paint.) Very carefully,
dab a very, very minute amount in the chip. Do not get
any paint anywhere other then the chip depression. The
trick here is not to try to fix the chip in one application.
Do this every day until the paint in the chip is even
with the rest of the paint surface. If you do this correctly,
you will hardly notice the chip repair. You can compound
the repair by hand very gently to even out the chip
repair.
Remember
have patience. Don't try to touch-up the chip all at
once. It's a gradual building up of the paint, that's
the trick.
