Rock chips

Any one here having rock chips on your front bumper and hood ? I have quiet a few and touch up paint don’t match good enough . I feel bad lol

Are you using the paint brush touch up bottles? I quit using them long ago. I didn’t like the big blob of paint they left. I just buy a can of spray paint from automotivetouchup.com and spray some into the cap. I then use a tiny brush to fill in the chip. You have to get real close to see it when done. The spray paint is much more runny and easier to work with.

When I first bought my Vert it looked like it was driven behind a gravel truck. I decided to repaint the whole hood. Each one of those white marks are rock chips that were filled with glazing putty and the sanded smooth. I went to my local paint shop and ordered some SM paint. Then I sprayed the hood (top and bottom) and clear coated it with house of kolor clear coat. I wet sanded it with 1500, 2000 and then 3000 grit. Then I gave it a 3 step polish with 3M products.

I think it came out bad@$$. And yes, I know, it helps to have the tools to be able to do this. Just know I paint as a hobby. I'm no professional, but I have been doing this for a few years.

LOL, yes it was, which is why I had to repaint the whole hood. If I only had 5 I would have probably just touched it up the same way Goose mentioned above.

On both of black cobras this stuff was awesome, easy to use and no mess, it fills in the chips and any paint outside the chip wipes off.
