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 |

Goes on thinner when it's warm. Usually helps when trying to get it to lay flat. I'd shoot for at least 60 out, and leave the pen in the sun a bit.

Well, damn, as it would figure - the temps have dropped into the low 40's/upper 30's. Way too early for October. So, I thought I'd wait a week - you know, for a little heat. Well, as it turns out, we're in the middle of 2 Nor'easters, and the temps won't go out of the 30's/early 40's for the nest 5 days! I've cleaned the chip edges with a dental pick & rubbed it out with 91 percent Iso. Unfortunately the humidity has gone from low to high. I'm ready to paint, but the weather gods dictate. Pat |

You mean your 914 Baby doesn't winter in a heated & humidity controlled garage!
