STONE CHIPS !!

[Pimm]

After a long day cleaning my car i noticed a tiny stone chip on the front wing. It has gone a rusty colour so what do i do about it. ??

 

Do i just paint over it or should anything else be done to treat it before using a touch-up pen.

 

Many Thanks

Don't worry about it pal. In two weeks time the front of your car will be covered in them.

Go to your local halfords and get a rust treatment called Krust. Apply that and it prepares the rust to be painted whilst also killing it. Then use the normal touch up pen paint to apply a bit of paint over it. Use a toothpick or similar and apply a small amount at once (it will spread a lot so only use a little) and keep reapplying every half hour or so until it is filled up. The trick is to apply lots of small amounts otherwise if you do it in one go the metallic flecs will sink to the bottom of the blob and look pants.
