I was driving behind a car when it ran over a piece of wood or something. It came flying toward me so I swerved to the right. However the piece of wood still nicked the side of my lip:



Can i use touch up paint to fix this? What pisses me off the most is that I just got the car out of the body shop for a fender bender 5 days ago If i can use touchup paint, any good threads on prepping it and actually painting it??

 

I don't know that big one. But give it a try with some one use is a Master with touch up paint. Or stop by the place where you got the boby work done. Some places might do it cause you just got work from them.

 

Find someone with airbrush gun and give him a try.

 

^^ Yep, find a place that uses airbrush guns for stuff like that and you'll be set. Only other option would be to repaint the lip.

 

i actually have the same spot my front lip, it happened yesterday when i pulled in to park and scratched it on a curb. As a temp solution i threw on touch up paint, about 10 very very thin layers. it looks alot better than a black spot. I figured that my lip is going to get scratched again so why worry about every little scratch. untill something else happens to the lip that requires a repaint, then i will leave it with touch up paint. you can't even tell that it was there unless i told you.

 

id give it a shot with the touch up paint...you got nothing to lose.

 

Touch-up paint will look terrible, get it done right if you want it to look good.

 

I would pay the $75-125 bux it would cost to have it repainted.

 

i have that SAME mark on my silverstone OEM lip

 

If you use touch up paint you may want to tape the area around it so you don't smuge onto the existing paint.

just a thought.
