Repairing Paint Chips
Hi.
I bought my 8 about 2 months ago (Brilliant Black) and being as excited as I was to get the car I overlooked and ignored multiple scratches and chips in the paint. I ordered some scratchx along with some other Meguiars products and I'll see what happens with the scratches but I'm not sure how to attack the chips on my hood. I also bought some touch up paint but i'm a complete Noob on taking care of a car's paintjob. This is the first car I've owned that I care about the paint. Here is what I ordered from Meguiars: Soap Claybar Kit Deep Crystal Polish Scratch X Tech Wax What is the best way to go about touching up the chips and blending them in to look as natural as possible. should I claybar before or after touching it up. I Kinda think it would be good to do it after to smooth out any excess paint. Advice? I'll try to post some pictures later. Thanks in advance! |

LANGKA paint repair kit.
http://www.langka.com/ I used it on our BB, and I am very satisfied. What sucks about the BB is the frigging "base" is white, so any chip in the paint is black/white, very noticeable. Also, another good tool for the BB..................black permanent marker. |
not only the black the silvers has black base so it sucks to

how well did it work out?

I think my orge-istic hands and technique prevented me from getting the results that a lot of people get. I just kept rubbing all the touch-up paint off. A lot of people rave about it, but I guess I just suck at using it. lol I don't care. My chips are filled now. I don't need it anymore.
