lexusmania Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Please help me cover up those nasty chip marks on my black hood without repainting the entire hood. I am especially fusssy and don't want to just covering up chip marks with the dealers touch up paint. I believe fellow members have experienced my predicament, please give me your solutions, thanks in advance. :(
RCRFAN3 Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Turtle wax makes a black wax that works pretty good for just that reason
SW03ES Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 You dont want to use the Turtle Wax color waxes. They're abrasive and the "color coating" will dull the paint. What you want is an Autosharp pen. You can precisely layer in the touchup paint and it'll look perfect. You can get one at www.autovisuals.com If you want a pro to do it find a professional airbrush place like Chips Away www.chipsaway.com
99lsguy Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 Steve, About that Autosharp Pen...... Will it work on the EDGE of a door - noticed 1" stripped edge by passenger door lock (I wonder if someone BAD was doing a little Digging?) Plus I have a 1" vertical scratch on rear passenger door. And... I've used touch-up also, so will these applications both do a great job of preventing further paint Deterioration/rust as long as good wash/seal/wax protocol is maintained? Thanks
91ls400 Posted December 25, 2003 Posted December 25, 2003 I have a 1991 LS400 and as you could expect it has several chips and scratches. Can I get one of these "pens" at a local Auto Zone or Advance Auto?
SW03ES Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 No, as far as I know you have to order them.
