Default FFFUUUUUUU.....




It's right on top of the passenger-side rear fender. Very visible. I touched it up the best I could. Anything else worth trying?

Can it be hidden better by a pro? My roommate had suggested putting on a bit "extra" and then using something like clay to blend it in.

Should be done by a pro. If not careful with that, more paint could be chipped/flaked off.

Nice color choice by the way, Sebring will always be my favorite stock color!!

So a pro would be able to hide it more, you're saying?

From the looks of it, the thick one took the paint off with it.

Yes, it did. I paged through some threads on here about rock chip removal. Looks like people used touch-up paint, then wetsanded with 1500 grit and followed up with a few Porter Cable steps.

In particular, this thread: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?act=S...=0#entry4696450


I guess I'm wondering if that same thing would work for me.

^^^he started originally went with wetsanding, afterwards he found out he could do the same using a claybar.

That looks like a glorified clay kit.
