1st attempt at paint chip repair

[mose]

Hey guys,



I did this Grand Cherokee a while ago and he called me to say that he was selling it and wanted it cleaned up a little. He also asked if I would fill in some rock chips and a couple chips on the drivers door handle. I told him that I had never done it before but if he didn`t mind being a guinea pig I would love to try it.



I used the following link from Picus (Thanks bro!!) http://autopia.org/forum/click-brag/70028-small-how-chip-repair-wetsanding-spring-cleaning-black-g35-56k-owie.html?highlight=chip+repair

and did the best I could.



My process was:



Wipe down the areas with IPA

Fill in chips with paint using the brush that came with the paint tube

Let dry for a couple hours under halogen lights

Sanded chips with Megs Unigrit 3000

Buffed out areas with PB SSR3

Went over whole car w/KAIO on white CCS

Topped w/OS

I had to look at the pictures twice to see what was what. Incredible. Just what I need for my nicks. Thanks for posting this!

that`s awesome mose. What did you use to buff out the spots? Oh where did you get your sand paper by the way? I was looking for some unigri sand paper too, but couldn`t justify buying a 25 pack.

you can purchase individual sheets on that one site with a bunch of megs products. but i can get mine locally.

Thanks guys!



artikxscout: I used PB SSR3 and KAIO (I just edited the OP) I wasn`t too worried about paint correction cuz I had already worked on it before. http://autopia.org/forum/click-brag/93403-07-grand-cherokee-major-swirlage.html?highlight=cherokee

I got mine from a paint supply store that I buy all of my Megs products from. I bought the 25pk cuz I am hoping to do a lot more of this as an add on service.



Gotta warn ya though: The door handle was a PITA!! Very thin paint and the curves on the handle presented a real problem so be careful when sanding!!:soscared:

HAHA I don`t ever remember the name of that site either... thank goodness I bookmarked it!



Auto Detailing Supplies (http://www.autodetailingsolutions.com/)



That is where I got my Meg`s products from.



Great job with the touch ups Mose! It came out nice.
