Chip in Paint

[pastry00]

Has anyone tried to fix any small rock ships in the paint? What is the best method and where did u purchase paint? I have the crystal white pearl tricoat paint on my speed.

Get the paint from Mazda. Touch it up until the whole chip is filled and the paint protrude out a little bit more than the surface.

Use 2000 grit and sand it flat. Then use compound/polish to restore the shine. White car is harder, so good luck.

I used Dr. ColorChip and my friends though I had my hood repainted. They use a different method from most to apply the paint. At certain angles, light, and really close up I can tell where I have filled in the paint but not much. The kit is sold on autogeek but the paint comes from the dealer so you need to know your paint code which can be found on the inside of the driver door, where the vin on that sticker is if you did not know that.

@Xtasty; way can be better over all, to over fill it then level out the paint. It would take to much of my time do do it that way, but I can see a more level look as if the chip was never there. Not just trying to hide or disguise it. But if you sand over it to much I can see someone destroying there paint, If they sand to far.

+1 for Dr. Colorchip
I used it on my CBM with great results... just be patient and follow the instructions properly. I needed to apply it a few times before I considered the chips good enough
