Hi all,
I was looking for some pointers on touching up scratches and/or chips in paint. I have one good size 4mm chip and was wondering what the best way to touch it up is since I am having less than spectacular results.
Should I just drop a glob into the chip and then sand it down to make it smooth after it hardens or should I try several thin coats to fill it in since it seems deep.. Also, what works best? Fingernail polish? Testors? Auto Paint? Should I clear coat? I know the goal is to protect the metal but would like to make it look as good as possible.
Scratches would pose a different problem and I guess would require we do not drink that espresso beforehand.?. A steady hand and a decent brush.?
