yea i got 2 chip on the same exact spots of my hood! it really pisses me off!!!! but im scared the touch up paint will make it just look worse... never had a good experience w/ touch up.... any advice?

Do u guys just apply the paint from the touch up tube and leave it? or do you wet sand after its try and buff ou with wax or something? It seems like the pens are good to cover the bare metal but you still still see the damaged area cause its not blended in.............

I have never used touch up paint, so any advice would be appreciated......

I have always just found mobile units that go to dealerships. They fill the chip/scratch, then sand then clear.

Most chip repair kits are a single stage paint. They have clear that is supposed to rise to the top of the paint. However they always turn out matte. For the best results in chip repair you can use a paint match from the dealership. Wet sand it flat. Apply a clear coat. Then buff with a cutting compound first. such as 1500 grit. then move to 2000 grit. and finially a sealer wax.

While many people can deal with the paint pens and brushes, most of the time they look like painted bubles... or painted chips.

paintscratch.com, Laura. That's where I get my touch up paint.

I use a permanent marker on the small spots, then again my car is black. I have the touch up paint and try to avoid it, I am no Monet. The dealership touchup paint has both a brushtip and pentip on it. I think I paid $10 for it at your friendly Ford dealer.
