Hey guys, just wondering how do I get these paint chips off my car.
My sister was moving the car into the garage. Long story short, that part of the car scratch the corner of the house.

I know I need sand paper but I'm not sure what kind.

Try mineral spirits and gently wipe. If the paint is fresh it may come off. Some of those marks look quite deep. The paint will be thin on that part of the car. If mineral spirits does not work then move up to clay. If you have to sand I would start by wet standing with 3000 or 2500.

You will have to polish and/ or re apply your LSP to finish off. Good luck with the project and hope it is just paint transfer.

I was poking around and here is a post that Mike did on paint transfer. It may do the trick with no sanding.
