Highway CHIPS HELP.....

Pachodino · 12-17-2006, 07:54 PM

I was driving on the turnpike (highway), all of a sudden I heard stones hitting the front of my car,

there was a truck in the middle lane dropping rocks everywhere . I wasn't the only one affected by it. I tried to get away from it,but it was already too late. I have about 40 chips on the hood,fenders, and bumper. I dont want to repaint the car.

Advices please, methods of painting chips etc, polishing perhaps

Depending on how many, you can touch it up with touchup paint, wet-sand, and polish + wax. You must know what to do though

..about half way down they describe how to apply touch-up paint to make it look like it never happened...i, personally, haven't tried it but it looks like it will help your situation.

This is the best way to go about doing it. I have been detailing cars for about a year and a half now and have spent countless hours doing this same procedure. It doesn't make it look like new, but it sure makes it look a lot better. And like si_civic said, you have to know what you are doing. If not, then you can opt to find someone that does.

Lol. Me too.

I got stuck behind a gravel/sand truck for 10 miles on the PA turnpike about 2 months ago. The front of my car looks like da pooh. I'm going to get it repainted then I'm getting the 3M clear bra. I think it's the only way, my friend. Sorry.
