Chip repair on my black FC
 

Prev owner did some sloppy touch up, and there were a bunch of chips on the drivers side fender, door and rear quarter, so I touched em up last week, wetsanded with 2000, and today I compounded with Hi Temp Extreme Cut and a wool pad via rotary, then Optimum Polish on a white LC pad to finish up. Threw a coat of Clearkote's Red Moose Glaze on the car, and then rewaxed it with S100. The whole time I was doing this, it started getting REALLY windy and was hard to work with the wind, and it throwing small leaves and crap in my garage, but the kicker was that right after I dressed the tires and put my equipment away, it started raining heavily out of no where!!!! Now, 10-15 mins later, its back to blue skies but still windy...Thanks weather :angry

I might need to reapply some touch up, and wetsand it level again on a few places on the fender, they didn't come out too well.

So, were the chips actually unoticeable after the repair? I have a whole shit load of white chips on my black t2 on the front end.

A few are, but since this is my first time doing chip repair, I thought it would anyways, so I'll retouch em, and wetsand them again.

Anyone trying this on they're own, I'd highly recommend taping around the chip before wetsanding to prevent cutting through the undamaged paint.

This is a great method for making a few eye sores less...........sore.

Good work!

If your front end if road rashed pretty good, this method would be FAR more work then simply repainting the panels, FWIW.
