most would not see it. But I do!



It is almost in the middle of the hood and towards the front. It is smooth and you can feel the depth to it. definate edges . a little smaller than the head of a paper match for size.



How do I handle this? How do I get it looking as close to before as possible?



The hood has Zaino and then P21s carnauba over it.



any help appreciated.:confused:
 
If you don't want to just live with it (I have 18 year-old chips on the XJS's hood that I'm cool with), you'll have to:



Strip your protection off

Clean out the chip

Apply basecoat touch up paint

Apply clear

Wet sand

Compound

Polish



And it might still show.



There's a bunch of info on touch up, though I'm not sure what you should use for a search.
 
It's the first mark on the paint. I know its small and most would never see it. Im not sure how deep it is, not to the primer Im sure.



I just have to do something. I just dont want it to be something wrong
 
I'm assuming the paint pen will isolate the chip area most ( more precise placement of paint) and minimize the use of Langka. When I was using Langka I was applying it after traditionally touching up chips with touch up paint on a toothpick, that blobbed and I needed the Langka, sometimes it was a bit tricky to get just right.
 
I'm getting better results since switching from toothpicks, matches, etc. to small (multiple-0 size) artist's brushes. MUCH better control.
