    stone chip repair

    Well so far winter has been hell on my new truck and the front is starting to show a fair amount of stone chips in my black paint. Any write ups or preferred methods on fixing stone chips?

    Thanks for the vid! I believe that's probably the best way to blend/fill them. Most of my chips are on the painted bumpers on my truck so I may give this process a shot along with dr. Colorchip. Love all the info on this forum.

    From experience, the motorcraft touch-up is the best. Dr CC ehh, didn't have very good results on my mustang...

    I always use factory paint for touch up. I'm thinking the process you posted will work best getting everything blended in correctly with it being a metallic paint. I'm going to have to try to same process on my mineral gray mustang. I have a nasty chip on my hood that I couldn't get the touch up to blend correctly
