grrrrrrr.........my build date is 5/03.......im at 2000 miles and hadnt had any paint chips yet so i was hoping maybe my paint was different but this weekend i was washing and i found 3 on teh front spoiler. What is the best way to fix this, my car is white which i hear is a better color to fix. I read an article at autotopia on fixing paint scratches but it seems like a little much for the tiny chips i have. DO i have to sand and primer like it says in the article......what is the best way to fix tiny little chips?

 

I wanna know as well, mine are bumper dings and you can hardly tell that they exist but because i know they do... it irks the heck out of me... i drive hella far from the cars in front of me now... to be on the safer side...

if you want to be patient, go to the auto paint supply store, get the exact match for the car in a pint or half pint.
get some of the little fuzz ball touch up sticks (about the size of a Q-tip, but much finer ball).
clean the area carefully with soap and water, and dry it off. Wipe again, just to make sure it is dry.
Take a small amount of paint onto the fuzz ball- this is where patience is key. Lightly touch the paint to the chipped area- DO NOT push the fuzz ball, just transfer a little paint to the spot.
Wait- you need to let the paint settle down and most of the solvent to evaporate. The paint bump will shrink. If there is still a small hole, repeat- do not build up a big pile of paint on the chip site. When you have filled the spot- stop. Let everything dry for a couple days.
Then, get a soft cloth and some rubbing compound- use this stuff carefully. Dampen the cloth a bit with water, then take a small amount of rubbing compound on the cloth. Rub very gently in a circular motion over the spot- do not push or rub hard. Take it easy, and patiently. Keep looking at the spot every few wipes, wipe with a dry cloth. Do not rub too much, only to take off the high spots. Then, when things are pretty smooth, get some glaze compound. Clean and buff the fixed spot with a soft cotton cloth. Then, with another clean soft cotton cloth, put a small dab of glaze on the cloth, and again with a circular motion, polish the spot to a matching shininess to the surrounding paint. It may squeak a little when you polish, which indicates that it is polishing. Do not polish too hard or too fast- this will heat everything up very quickly. Patience is critical to good finish. when you have smoothed the paint with the glaze, then wipe it a few times. Let things dry out another week or so under the sun before you wax. If things are done right, you will not have any spider webbing or difference in surface appearance. Good Luck.
