fixing stone chip/flake
fixing stone chip/flake
a few days ago i noticed this chip on my car right above the rear wheel well. i have some spray paint but im not quite sure how to go about it. And if i just paint over it will it stick or will i have problems with rust? any suggestions?

and i would honestly recommend a paint matched paint pen.. ( gm dealership should be able to supply one for you ) its so small that you could be more precise with a pen and when careful you can match them quite nicely. clean the area of any debris/ dirt.. and with a steady hand lay a thin coat with the paint pen. taken your time. dont rush and puddle it... dont just try and fill it in like ur coloring inbetween the lines of a picture.. take ur time and if you wanna lay another coat you can. its awfully small to spray and taping it off would be a PITA.. id recommend a pen personally.. and if you wanted to be more precise later on and put a layer of clear and blend it with a buffer you could.. but honestly.. its small and on an edge.. paint pen it slowly and itll more than likely disappear
I used the DupliColor paint matched pen. $5 at Advanced Auto Parts.
Make sure to buy the clear as well. I did this on my front bumper, about 50 very small stone chips. About a month later 90% of them reappeared. Just from normal rain, washing the car, and all the other elements. Pain in the ass to try and remember where they all were several hours later haha.
