well , i found a chip on my hood and i tried wet sanding it. then i buffed it with a foam cutting pad with some cutter i got from work. did that and very slightly burnt the paint. (my car is silver) what can i do to fix it without burning more. its a 2001 civic :nono

Use a little touch up, fully repaint, or leave it alone. That`s about it.

When you say "burnt the paint" ... exactly what does it look like? Does it look like it melted and smeared? did you buff through the clear? Is it a different color (like brown)?
Everyones definition of burnt paint is different.

it looks a little milky and it looks smeared. just a light burn. what can i do

[kimwallace]

I have removed those types of marks by wetsanding with 1500 or 2000 grit paper wrapped around a stiff foam backing pad. After wet sanding then you can buff out the wetsanding marks. When you get the paint that hot, it many times changes its properties, so you might want to polish out the wetsanding marks by hand. Be careful because you do not want to go through the clearcoat. If you filled the chip in with touch-up paint, it might be that the paint wasn`t dry. Take your time and let us know how it comes out ... Good Luck!
