paint the chips in, then use rubbing compound ( its a cutting agent, like t cut but more adrasive) to blend them in, esspecially on a red car cos no doubt its faded loads. | |

what would T-cutting do to help chip marks though? | |

just be careful mate cos u can sometimes end up making the chips stand out more depending on the standard of ur paint work mate. started doing my bonnet but a good t-cut had a better effect. i have a big stone chip on my door which had rusted so thats what i used the touch up paint for | |

i used it on my flame red corsa its not that bad mate. my mates have used it as well mate. it works best on solid colours as it is very hard to match metallic colours. i would reccomend it mate just make sure u sand enough of the area down | |

The colour match on mine (caribic blue) was pretty bad. In the end I used Holts Dupli Colour which was a very good match. | |
