I wanted to share a paint chip touch up system I just discovered and used. Chip repairs usually end up as a small blob that is higher than the paint job, or with a little crater where the paint shrank as it dried. The repair still looks like a chip, but now it's a colored chip that sort of matches the car's paint. You can Google "langka paint touch up" and see the 3-part system that is used with the touch up paint for your car. I had two significant chips right on the nose of my Speedster and after using this system I cannot see where I did the chip repair---it's that good!
I had another place on my hood where I clumsily dropped a tool and that is now like new after using this system.
The three parts come in little bottles and are: cleaner, paint "blob eliminator" to level the repair with the rest of the paint, and a sealer. You use your own touch up paint.
You clean the spot with the cleaner to remove wax, road crud , etc. Then using the tiny brush supplied, fill the crack with your touch up paint. Make the drop of paint fill the chip and put enough so the paint is actually a bit higher than the surrounding paint. After the paint dries (3-4 hours) use the blob eliminator to make the repair precisely the same level as the rest of the paint, then use the sealer
with a clean rag and that's it. The main deal is that blob eliminator which is amazing stuff and chemically takes away excess paint to make a perfectly level and invisible chip repair.
Check this out if you have chips or previous poorly touched up spots.
Not expensive and comes with good instructions and info.
