    Re: Help:. Rock chips with sharp edges.

    I’ve had great luck with a strategy very similar to what 2black1s outlines in his great how to here Discerning Paint Chip Touch-Up; Not for Everyone or Every Chip

    Insurance will not cover rock chips unless it was something like a dump truck dropping its load on interstate and you ate the brunt of it.

    I’ve always wondered what happened to my wife’s minivan that we bought used. This is the best explanation yet. Either that or it was a backdrop for a dart board.

    I tried west sanding a fix that I made and got carried away. Long story short… the door repaint completely fixed the scratch

    Re: Help:. Rock chips with sharp edges.

    I’m over due to touch up a ton of chips. I always did the toothpick or fine hobby model brush in the bast with marginal results. I’ve read allot of threads/posts about letting the paint dry.apply,sand and clear coat. My question is what everyone likes to use for dabbing? I was watching Ammo L. Recommending these. Help:.

    Those things are phenomenal. I used them a few weeks ago to fill some touch ups on my parents hood before they sold it. Ridiculously easy to get just the right amount of paint, just dab and a minute amount of paint is released. Dab until filled. And if you just hold it, no paint will drop out, it works on capillary action. I actually filled them a little more and then did some fine sanding with 2000 to level them before I polished with Griots FCC followed by Essence. My eyes aren’t 20/15 any more so I had to get the glasses out to get the depth perception right but they did great, better than me.

    What do you suggest for stone chips on doors and fenders. These seem like they would work better on a hood,trunk or roof

    Re: Help:. Rock chips with sharp edges.

    I took my new vehicle on it’s first trip of 2,000 miles. The full front Expel works great but the windshield has the darn “pings” that only multiply as the miles grow.
