The repair of a scratch and a chip are the same. A scratch is merely a chip on uni-directional steroids. The only problem with a scratch is that it takes more time to be able to blend in the new paint. Items you need: • Touchup or color matched paint • Compatible primer - I like Wurth Rustop primer • Organic cleaner - P21S Total Auto Wash or Wurth Citrus Degreaser • Solvent - Rubbing Alcohol or Prepsol or Enamel Reducer • 3M Imperial Hand Glaze • Sanding Block 2000 grit • Car wash • 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper • Round undyed wooden toothpicks • Large lightweight cardboard boxes (large shoe box or bigger) • Several 100% cotton towels • New Pencils with unused erasers • Rubber glue • Several heavy clean plastic cups • Roll of quality paint masking tape Paint chip repair is a learned skill and should be practiced on an area of the car that is not that visible. The hood and nose are two areas that should be tackled last. Test all cleaners or solvents on the paint prior to usage. Try using the seam underneath the rocker panels. Apply a little cleaner or solvent to a cloth and rub the seam. If you do not get any color on the rag, then the cleaner/solvent should be safe for the paint. If you do get color on the rag, then you may wish to consider another solvent. CHIP REPAIR STEPS: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
