Modena 360

I have some stone chips on the front fender and hood of my car. Most are small however there is 2 that are about 1/8". I also have a larger scratch ( approx 1" * 1/16")on the back fender.
I purchased touch up paint and clear coat. I also purchased a bottle of Langka. I would appreciate any help/hints in fixing these areas.
Thank You,
Tom
 
TRY USING THE REVERCE SIDE OF A MATCH INSTEAD OF THE BRUSH IT PUT A THICKER LAYER LET IT DRY AND REPEAT TILL IT FILLS IN ITS NOT EAZY BUT IT WORKS. HOPE IT HELPS C-YA WAZ UP DC
 
SiTopShine,

Please do not take this the wrong way, and maybe its just me, but your posts are hard to follow. Typing in all caps also gives the impression that you are yelling and makes it appear as though you know nothing about "netiquette". I'm not trying to be rude and this is JMO for what it is worth.

Otherwise.......I agree that you should not use the brush, though I use a toothpick instead of a matchstick. Also make sure the area(s) are thoroughly clean and free of wax. It will take several app.'s to get it right. Just keep adding a little paint at a time, allow to dry and repeat until just below surrounding level. Repeat process with the clear until just above paint level. Then use some very fine grit sandpaper 2000 grit (i think is what i used) and slowly and carefully level it out. This is just the process I used on my car for some chips and hopefully others will chime in with their advice.

The big thing is to take your time on it. Paint filling isn't a 1 hour job by any means.

The real question is, "Is this for your Modena 360"?

I had a client call me last week with an 03'.....we're working on a date to do it now..>>>>>needless to say, I'm excited about it....I will take like 200 pictures.
 
Yes Nick it is for my 360. I am nervous about tackling it my self and am debating wether or not to do it myself, have a professional do it or just leave them alone. I would appreciate any input regarding this.
Thank you,

You can do it yourself, I repaired my 03 Tahoe and my wife's 02 VW. You can not see where I touchced up the paint. My Tahoe is Metallic, you would think it would not turn out perfect, but it did.

It depends, you wish to take your time and follow directions. It may take several days if the scratch is deep or to the primer. You have to fill the deep scratch a bit at a time. You do not wish to try to fill a chip with a blob of paint. The instruction tells you how to do it.
