relentless Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 There a small chip (about 3mm) and a very thin scratch (too deep to polish out), on my gunmetal JDM...What best way to hide this without paint? How about some sort of filler polish or wax? cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECLIPSE AUTO VALET Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 as above , then cut back/ wet sand , bit of hit and miss to the final result , but better than a filler polish as after a few washes it will reappear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT Convert Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 touch up is easy to balls up too, I have chips on my gm too, but Im waiting untill it gets that bad (i get a new chip every week) then i will get the chips away guy in to do the lot as the price is the same for 1 chip as for 10 chips(same panel that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECLIPSE AUTO VALET Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 AG srp is a good filler but that will be ok for light swirls and that , but with a stone chip it will just appear white. only other thing thats springs to mind and im not a fan of is colour magic , at least it might hide the chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats best sort of filler polish? you need to layer touch up paint not blob, polishes will just wash off get chipsaway to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
