Hey folks. I have a couple of nasty paint chips on my S2K. damn dump trucks on 270 lastweek I bet. Anyway, do you all recommend having the dealer (if they will) or a body shop or do it yourself when it comes to touching up these areas?
I t is driving me nuts. I have to fix them. Most people would say they are tiny spots. They look enormous to me. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
SUZUKA Ray

 

goto www.autotopia.com and search rock chip repair, besides the rock chip repair there are ton of great car care articles and an awesome.

 

I went there, but it seems to just be a general search engine. I couldn't find any articles. Are you sure that you spelled the address correctly or am I just missing something obvious?

 

Try

BTW, I have used one of the touch up pens, it works well on red, but I have not heard good reports on the metalic colors.

i like the pen too... but it works better on scratches than chips- depends on the size of the chip. you made yours sound like craters!!! (pen does not work on craters, but maybe small chips)

 

If you want an autosharppen, lemme know; I have some left over from a group buy - $10 shipped, which beats the heck out of the usurious $17 + shipping they charge...

 

Here's a good article that I read about fixing paint chips:

I'm going to try it out on a dime sized chip in my Altima's hood.
