After installing sound system i've found a new chip about the smaller size of a pencil eraser & a scratch about a toothpick size 2inches long......

i've applied paint touch up on it but doesnt look that smooth, what do you guys recommend me to do?
apply wet sand?

 

you dont say what color so we dont know whether you should consider langka or not...

some info for you:

for chips that are not that bad, I live with the touch up paint.. but for some guys they can't so i've recommended body shops

 

I'm one of the guys that can't live with touch up paint, but can a body shop repair scratches and such without repainting that entire body panel?

wanabe,

Thanks for that link. That's a very detailed and informative write up on how to repair chips and scratches, I've been looking for just such a write up like that one.

 

I saw Aero Colours at the Sac2K days. They were working on several cars there and the results looked fantastic. What has been people's experiences with them?

I have 3 chips in my rear quarter panel - courtesy of my bro's garage door opening blowing up - and now need to get them fixed. I want to stay away from touchup paint and Langka cause the results dont seem very good. I'm going to check with Aero Colours and a few others. Any recommendations in Orange County area?
