Default paint chip fixes

Is there any reliable way available to fix/mask those nasty little rock chips, which are pretty much un-aviodable?

Yes, you can. You might want to search the archives (here & on Pelican).
There's also some good 'how to' articles @ www.carcareonline.com.
Hope this helps...Keith

See if you have a www.chipsaway.com franchisee near you, I've been very happy with the results on two cars with them.

If you decide you want to tackle this yourself, first ruff up the area with a small piece of 1200 grit sandpaper glued to the end of a pencil. Use a toothpick for touchup paint work. Just dip it into the touchup paint and tap the spot on the car you want to cover up. It takes a while but the pay off is very nice. If you need to sand down any of the stone chips after you touch them up, then take a pencil and 2000 grit sandpaper. GLue the end of the sandpaper to a pencil and sand down the touch up. Make sure the 2000 grit is wet when you do this. Best wishes - Jay Gratton

I'm not sure if the other vendors fall under this category or not, but let's not forget Rennlist Site Sponsor AutoVisuals. I have a set of their pens for my 993 and Toyotas and find that they work wonderfully on rock chips.

Autovisuals makes a very good product. The color match is excellent.

Also, Langka is an excellent product. Great results.
