I have ONR chip in my paint - ONE! It's been there since I dropped a screwriver in the 80's. Rest of the paint is perfect.
I'm looking for something that doesn't require a brush, since I am known to be sloppy. Concerned about compatability, since my paint was put on in 1979, and is a poly-razzmataze paint of the era. Clear coated too. Paint was a Glssurit compound. Could look it up, but just wondering. There are "pens" out there, but I don't want them bleeding/bubbling what I have. Suggestions? Pat |

Go to the local paint supplier, get a half pint of the correct color for the car, using a toothpick, get just enough on the end to ball up, place the drip on the chip and let it sit till it starts to set up. Do this until the chip is higher than the surrounding paint. Let the car sit for a couple days. NOW you can start to wet sand the spot with 1500-2000 grit. Use a hard block so you are just knocking off the top of the buldge, eventually it will sand down level and you can lightly buff it. Won't match exactly, but unless you want to take it in for the whole panel to be shot........ that is your best bet

I can't see Pat (or myself for that matter) touching his car with any sandpaper (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

That's not much more that the effort it takes to wipe your a_s. I use similat sanding bands for my model railroad vehicles. I just want a good source for properly mixed paint, in a pen-style applicator. This is not an uncommon paint. Pat |
