Paint help!
dropped a wrench, chipped the front end above the headlight door....tried to fix it...looks worse, because the color doesn't blend well, and it seems to have indented it alittle...is there a way to fix that one spot, so it won't look so obvious or do i need my whole front end repainted?

Those paint guys that make their rounds to the car dealerships are very good at such issues. I'd check with one of them. They are used to having to color match touch ups. Sorry to hear about that chip. Hate it when that happens.

Re: Paint help! (jimvette999)
If you really want to fix it yourself. get your paint a lighter shade, and put it on in layers, very thin...You put a glob on the chip, that's why it indented....
Then do a buff job on it to help flatten it out...
But I would find a decent paint pro to help you out if you want it to match perfectly.
