Thread: The big "Stone Chip Touchup"

Tweet

Hidebinder,

I use old peanut jars to store my TU Paint in. I have some for the Comet that is about 8 years old. I just go in and shake them every so often and then turn them upside down to let the heavy stuff drain back down through the lighter part. The rubber seal caps of the bottles make great seals and last a long time. I use this with all colors of my paint and it has worked well for me.

As for brushes, I got some very tiny ones at the paint store that are about 6" long with just a tiny ball of fur on the end. If these are still to big for a pick, I cut a toothpick into and use the part that is small enough to just put a drop into the pick.

I dinged the trunk lid for my car the other day - luckily just on the edge (also had a couple of spots on one of my splash shields). I use some paint that I mix according to ratio and dab it on with a tooth pick rather then a brush. They took about 3 applications to build up. I then sanded it level with 2000 on a stiff rubber block. Then I did the same with the clear coat. The spot is no longer visible after wet sand, again with 2000, then rubbed out by hand with Presta 1500 or Meguiar's #2.
I tried a small brush first and found the toothpick trick worked best (at least for me)

Paint it black, buy a Magic Marker . . . no more problems....
