    Not sure how to fix this scratch/chip?

    Not sure how to fix this scratch/chip?-img_1276-jpg

    I found this chip on my car and not sure how it happened since I park very far from everything and anything that could potentially harm my car. Can someone give me some advice on how to deal with this I'm very heart broken after seeing this haha.

    thanks!

    100% agree... Doctor ColorChip rocks! Totally invisible repairs but may take a couple of back-to-back 'treatments' to fully level the surface. It's pretty much idiot-proof and when polished just disappears like the blemish never happened. Can't recommend them enough.

    Ah they don't have the Navarra Blue color for my Audi .. I ended up purchasing from paintscratch .. came with a clear coat pen, basecoast pen, acrylic and compound stuff. I hope it's as easy as you've guys say haha not sure how to do it but there should be instructions or YouTube videos

    With Dr color chip, explain multiple applications please. My garaged​ car has a few small chips and I won't touch them till I know I'll have a good result with a repair.

    In using it on my vehicles it tends to go on 'thin' initially not fully hiding the chips. What I do is apply it today and go through the process then let it dry overnight. Then tomorrow repeat. Each time the chip is filled more and more. I continue this process until it's fully filled, flush and I'm happy with the repair. I then wait a week and give it a good buff and it virtually disappears.

    Dr. ColorChip is almost like magic in a bottle doing it this way.

    So leave some excess paint around the the chip and it will buff right off?

    Mikeb018,
    when you are working on scratches or chips you want to build very thin layers and you want to dab the paint on with the smallest brush you can find. Like everyone has previously said Dr. Color Chip is a great system. Since trying this system this is my goto vendor for all paint touch up for cars. One thing I did learn though is when you are working with metallic paints you really need to fill the scratch to a point and then build up the rest of the scratch of chip with clear. This provides allot better match in my opinion. After I build up the scratch or tip to over the area the surrounding area, I then let it sit over night and come back the following day wetsand with 3,000 grit, compound and polish the scratch to blend in.

    Question: The Color chip is SS(right). Does it still work good with base coat/clear coat finishes?
