[6pack] Fixing Paint Chips

[Richard Seaton]

Make sure the chip is clean of dirt, wax etc,  rubbing alcohol will do for
cleaner. If chip is just to the primer keep adding a dot of paint until it is
higher than your chip. Then take a very small block of wood (auto paint stores
also sell a little foam rubbing block with fine sand paper on it, just for
this) wrap with 1100-1600 grit sand paper then wet sand until the new paint
bubble is flush to the old, until the line around the bubble is gone. then
work it with rubbing compound then glazing (swirl remover) compound to get the
shine back. A small buffer works better than by hand.

NOTE- this is for single stage paint!!!!! Base coat clear is similar, but you
don't want to sand through the clear to the base coat!!! Others might pipe in
on this.

Hope this helps
