Bad Paint Chip!

Bad Paint Chip!
I noticed a really bad paint chip the other day. It’s small but it cuts all the way through. Someone listed info about an aftermarket clear-coat for our cars but I can’t find the thread. Anybody got any info/solutions?

Thanks. I think this is probably going to be my long term solution.

I make sure I always apply rust remover, if its gotten to that point - then I clean it off, and touch it up - almost always fixes the spot for good. I've got about 2 or 3 spots I need to do on my car right now...just keep putting it off!

Thanks. I will try to use the product on some of the scratches I have on my Infiniti I30. I will try it on a back passanger side scratch first. I will post before and after pictures once I get it done. Thanks for explaining that it worked and the suggestion of the toothpick.

every body guy I've ever talked to says stay away from touchup paint, it doesn't hold up....
But they probably want me to take it to them so they can charge a ridiculous ammount to repaint small dings and scratches..
I have a deep chip on my grille from a rock on the highway, and a few surface scratches on my passenger's side door, what applications is touch up paint designed for??

The way I look at is you have 3 options:
1. Do nothing and let it rust.
2. Take it to a shop (and they will just use touch up paint anyways and then heat the clear coat up, buff the hell outta the clear coat and then fucc you in the @ss on the cost).
3. Use touch up paint yourself. Use a steady hand. Refrain from using excessive amounts of paint. And finally, wax over the area. Repeat until the spot is smooth and even with the surrounding area.
