is this process of repairing chips easy enough for a newb?

Think it would be easy enough for a newb? My cars paint is black and 8 months old (if that helps). Tried Langka but its too long of a waiting process just to mess it up at the end. I could waist a whole bottle of langka and touch-up just learing how to do it.
Planning on testing this method on a well hidden place before using it on the real chips, at least test the removing the sand paper scratches part. Got 3m for dark cars.

anyone?

I don't see where this is a problem. Yeah, it has a learning curve but so does waxing and polishing. I think the technique in that link is fine. Only way to learn how to fix the chips is to get to work. Don't worry about screwing up, everyone screws up.

Go for it. I used this technique on my girlfriends car last week, and I must say that it turned out better than I expected. My only advice it to make sure you really get the chip filled. I noticed a couple of mine weren't totally filled, but the still look better than before.

Good luck

I tried this, but found I suck at it. However, the chips look better than before. I think when I do it again, I will just try to slowly fill the chip so it is fairly level and not bother with the sanding. I didn't ruin anything with the sanding, but I didn't help anything either... So, while not seamless, it does look better. And hey, what's wrong with that...

Yep this method works wonderfully. I repaired about 7 chips on my hood and front fenders last year and they still look good. Vertical panels I found were a bit more difficult to get the capillary action to fill the chip properly. Give it a try though, you'll be proud of yourself...
