I did my first full paint chip repair on my son's silver GTI yesterday, and I'm happy with the results except for the paint color match. (I got the touch up paint from the dealer.) The repaired paint is smooth and glossy, but it looks like I filled the entire chip (about .25" in diameter) with clearcoat. The attached photo is of the completed job. You can see the chip in the lower middle of the picture.
I applied several coats of touch up paint over the last several weeks. However, a very small amount of paint did overflow into the surrounding area. Could this have caused the paint match problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
