Pro tip: after applying your touch up paint and clear coat - take a pensile with eraser, 3000 grit sand paper, glue, and a cutting/polishing compound. Glue a tiny eraser size cutout circle of the 3000 grit sandpaper to the pensile eraser. Very lightly sand down the area/chip you just touched up. After you've got the spot completely smooth to the touch, hit it with your cutting/polishing compound. Once your done you will literally never be able to tell the paint was ever touched up or damaged at all. It will look brand new.

Colt45Magnus This is exactly what I did while waiting to get my paint protection film done and got a couple of rock chips on my hood while driving it home the day I got it. A gravel hauler passed me going 50 and threw rocks out. I finished off with a light wet sand and buff. Since it's black metallic you can see very slight color difference, but it's flush with the rest of the panel and now has paint protection film and no uneven or bubbling issue with the film.

I really like your drawing and explanation for those that have never used touch-up paint or those that globbed it on before the days of internet videos. Most people (owners) don't understand that a car is covered in a separate clear coat application. That application is the most important and your drawing shows very simply what occurred and what can quickly be done by anyone. Of course, sanding and buffing is always the proper way to finish but out of most owners abilities. Your simple, easy way is best for most people.

I couldn’t get the right amount of paint in my paint chip. Immediately upon noticing that I kept having dab the paint out and messed it up more. Used my electric buffing tool to remove scratches I created trying to get the access paint off. This video was good though because it gave me the idea to use a tooth pick to control the amount of paint going into the chip. The applicators put too much paint every time and you just get a paint bubble. Using toothpicks you can be much more surgical with the paint.

Shouldn't you use a polishing compound to smooth out the touch up paint? Honda says after 48 hours you should polish it. That will probably smooth the touch up quite nicely. Here: Finish Your New Paint Look with Rubbing Compound Allow your clearcoat to dry for three days, then use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to apply rubbing compound using circular strokes and even pressure. Buff to a high gloss. For the best results, let your Honda touch up paint dry for 30 days, then apply an automotive wax.

Way too much paint especially if you have clear coat on top. You just need enough paint for color i.e. it's optimal below the surface and then fill in the rest with clear coat. Allow to fully dry for a couple of days. Next step is 2000 and 3000 grit wet sand in as small an area as possible .. and lastly buff it out. Sounds more complicated but it really isn't, it actually easy.

@@simpleshoes .. Most chips are very small and are typically located on the bumper and hoods which often are either composed of synthetic materials or aluminum. Assuming the paint chip is small the adherence to the substrate and adherence to the surrounding primed paint is more than enough strength to keep the paint from chipping in the future. If the substrate is ferrous metal then make certain to scrape all oxides (rust) and scape the perimeter of chip to remove any loose or poorly bonded paint. Often the oxidation spreads underneath the chip area. If the area is larger than a small chip then a primer is recommended.
