#1104 of 1163 how to get rid of paint chips and scratches by pflau Sep 16, 2001 (03:34 pm)
Get the Dupli-Color Flawless Scratch removal kit. Get hobby airbrush and paint polish kit (any good hobby shop will stock these items). Use the sanding stick to remove the rust. Get touch up paint (and clear coat if needed) in a spray can. Spray paint in small glass bottle for use with airbrush. Use airbrush and correct size nozzle to spray paint thinly over area. Use multiple light coats. Wet sand with polish kit 3200 grit sanding cloth after every two coats. When chip or scratch becomes invisible, sand one last time. Spray clear top coat using airbrush. Spray about three coats, make sure to cover entire area where sanding had occured. Sand and polish using polishing kit. Done. If repair is done properly you absolutely cannot see the repair, unless under very specific lighting condition where you see the edge between the old paint and the new paint.
The idea is to use car model builder's painting method to paint your chips and scratches. I used this method to repair some pretty bad paint damages on my car and the repairs are all but invisible.
