Default Can Anyone Recommend A Chip Doctor in PA/NJ ???

I've got a few tiny paint chips in my hood. I guess my clear bra isn't big enough.

I've heard of chip repairs being done with an air brush.
I don't want to use my "touch-up" kit because it is brushed on.

I live in Southeastern PA. Anyone with knowledge of a paint repair company in my area would be appreciated.

Try this place.. http://www.carisma.com/

If it's the same place/owners I think it is, they did repair work for Algar around the early '90s, not sure if they still do. I've seen them do excellent dent removal (they took a door ding out of my car and it was perfect), leather repair/redying and front spoiler repair. IIRC, they used an airbrush when painting the spoilers. Algar used them for a while, so their customers must have liked the results.

P.S. - I have no current experience with their work.

Have your body shop make some touch up, apply very light dabs with a toothpick or matchstick. Let dry overnight then wetsand with 2000 and polish. I have done this and it's perfect on solid colors light metallics are tough. Then x-tend the clear bra.
