wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Short of taking the car to an expert, whats the best method for repairing small rock chips? I have alot of them. I seen a video awhile back that shows how to get decent results with the little touch up bottle of paint and proper sanding methods to get it to blend in but I can no longer find it. Also anyone know of any members currently working at a junkyard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wet sand with what grit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bring it over but it already needs a new rear bumper(cracked) and the hood repainted. After doing all of that, I would have more in it than I payed for it. Its not bad looking, just wanted to try and clean it up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
