Washed car today noticed in my hood very small paint chip prolly from rock.. any idea how much to get fixed?
go to canadian tire, or ford, pick up a tube of touch up, like 5 bux i think, then a tub of clear, there you go! that's what i did at least, and you can't tell the difference
i noticed i had a couple of paint chips in my car, asked an (unsecified person) like 3 months ago who works at (unsecified dealer) and i still haven't got the paint, hey, you know who you are, keep the paint, i don't want it anymore!
then you can wetsand it down, and high-speed polish it, and you won't even know there was a stone chip.
I got my tube of Sangria Red touchup from Stockfish, it wasn't much. I didn't wet-sand the touchups down, and unless you know where to look you still can't really tell where I did the touchups.
I have some paints chips too, i'll have to try that out, thank god i have a black car, no colour matching needed. Would this work for scuffs in the paint too?

I've thought of that already... but sadly, no. Not like we'd like it to, either. That's something you'd have to maybe wet-buff with a bit of colour match in a chamois or terrycloth (ultra-soft stuff) and then wet-sand down maybe??? :huh:

I did a quick test on the interior of my trunk and got frustrated. I've got some scuffs I'd like to do up too, but have run out of ideas on save re-spraying an entire body panel or the crazy idea I listed above.
