I have a paint chip on my front bumper. I am wondering what is the best way to touch it up? Touch up paint? Paint stick? etc. Also, where is the best place to get what I need? My car is Millennium yellow. Thanks.

 

i just did the 1st step in my langka touch up kit from autogeek. the yellow if its down really far like a couple of spots on mine were, you will probably have to hit them 2 or 3 times with the paint due to the darker fiberglass under the paint. if its just to the white, you should be able to dab the paint right in and after it dries use the blob eliminator.

im going to hit mine again tomorrow after work with another round of paint and then maybe over the weekend hit it with the blob eliminator. the few really small rock chips i had seem that it will be fine with the one coat of paint and the blob eliminator.

Do a search on paint chips on this board. There is some good advice from VETFVER that I find works great.

 

Here you go..

To fix your paint ships, you will need a can of Turpentine, some touchup paint matching the color of your car, a toothpick, and cotton cloth.

1. Remove the cap on the can of Turpentine and put the cotton cloth over your finger and then put your finger over the opening and turn the can upside down. This will give you a dimes worth of Turpentine to work with.
2. The Turpentine on the cotton cloth is just enough to remove the wax around and in the chip.
3. Shake the touchup paint well and open the cap and take out the little brush.
4. Put a small chip sized drop on the end of your toothpick and tap it into the chip.

What you are looking for here is a bubble of paint in the chip. If you get some on your paint, don’t worry about it right now. After drying for 15 minutes the paint will shrink into the chip.

5. Repeat #1 before lightly in a fast motion back and forth begin to remove the paint that got onto the cars paint. What you are trying to do is just leave the paint in the chip. If you have made a mess, press harder and remove all the paint and start over.
6. Repeat this process a second time as you will need another round of paint in the chip to bring the paint level with the paint on your car.

Don’t worry about the Turpentine. It will NOT remove any factory paint on your car. The longer paint dries the harder it is to remove.

You will soon find that fixing a paint chip is not as hard as it sounds.
