i just bought the touch-up pen for all the chips from rocks bieng picked up on the highway
so you put the paint on, put the clearcoaton your done but...for the tiny rust thats forming inside the chips..should i just sand it away carefuly and then go ahead?
or is sanding too harsh and i should use something else?
if i do sand it them out, ill end up sanding more than i need to away like the paint surrounding the chip. but i guess i cant do much about that
any tips? thanks alot

 

o well the pen looks like crap anyways..should i sand more? its bumpy

 

which body panel is this on?

 

someone makes a pen that has a sand paper type tip, for sanding chips, i saw it at walmart in the auto care dept. check it out

 

use 3m rubbing compund to get the rust out. Use a thin cotten rag(tshirt) and a dab of it. It takes soem elbow greese but it worked for me.

 

cool thanks ill try it
there are SO MANY though. i guess itd be impossible to patch up that many dents...without it looking like acne
my paint sucks
yeah, i was thinking of something liquid to use instead of sanding..i dont trust myself enough to sand.
thanks tho for the info

 

I had a similar problem. What I used was a dremel bit - the pink tipped one. It was a cone shape and I just used the tip to get at the rust. Did it manually, worked great.

Also, don't mean to hijack but my ambitious personality decided to purchase 2 bottles of touch up. I'm barely through half of one. If anyone wants the other new one, its KT3 (sterling mist). Paypal a few bucks for shipping and its yours...

 

looks like the reviews for this pen aren't great. maybe ill hold back from ordering one
