I just got a small but noticeable chip in my paint. How should I take care of this? Should I take it to a pro? How much would it cost or should I get some touch up paint.

 

are you selling the chip or something? lol this is the classifieds section! what are you doing???!!!

 

I will buy the chip for 1 cent shipped to me.

 

i say just buy a new hood and get it painted.

 

well ive seen turtle wax colored wax at autozone you could give that a try personally i have never used it but comes with a chip repair thing or something you could check it out

touch up paint is another option im pretty friendly with the parts manager at my dealership he hooked my up with a bottle free (probably 7 bucks)

the touch up paint works pretty well mine kinda blends more and more with each wash noticable but better than a sctach

or if you got the crazy money i dont have you could get it repainted hope i helped atleast throw out some ideas for you

 

Welcome to the long, painful journey of Nissan's road chip woes.

 

Only thing you can do is plan on the arrival of many many more that vary in shapes & sizes. It's never ending, my '03 needs a respray on the bumper.

 

Try using some touch up paint from the dealer, followed by a light polishing with a buffer on a low speed to smooth out the finish. Wait a day or two before buffing.

Ahh the first paint chip...the cure for the "new car syndrome", we all go tru it. Mine was a double whammy, rock hit once and bounced back down to chip the hood for the second time.
I used touch up paint and used langka to remove some of the excess paint...

 

comming up on a year with my Z and my front end makes me wanna cry. I just noticed a nice chip on my passenger fender

 

I drive about 450 miles every week.

If I showed you my front end you would be amazed. Nissan paint sucks.

 

i got two chips on the the way home with my newly purchased o7 toyota last year. No way to avoid it. It don't bother me no more.

 

Do this ^^^

I want to try some langka. I've heard it is pretty nice!

 

I have so many chips in my car it makes me wanna cry, my maxima was the same way. Nissan just has some sh!tty paint.

 

Think of it as a beauty mark

 

i applied some touch up paint from the dealer but a little too much. Is there a way to remove the touch up paint and start over without taking off the clearcoat and paint off the rest of the car?

 

Whenever I use touchup paint, I make sure that I have a rag or towel near by to wipe it off if too much is applied.

If you applied too much and its already dried....doesnt sound good

 

nissan paint does blow, but just get some touch up paint and you will forget its there! Worked for me!
