Hey guys, I am new here. I got my Lexus repainted in 3R1 Matador Red Mica which is a 3 stage pearl paint.



I just got one chip that is about 2mm wide and it went down to the primer.



So here are the options that I am considering:



1. Go to the dealer and pick up the 1 stage touch up paint. Chances are, it won`t be a perfect match with my aftermarket paint



2. I have leftover waterbased paints when the car was painted, both the base metallic and the pearl coat.



So, I am thinking of sanding down the chip area with 2000 grit to level out the chip then fill it in with the base coat then the pearl cot, let it dry, top it off with Dupilcolor Clear Top Coat, and then sand and polish away the blob.



What are your guy`s suggestions?
