I washed my car yesterday and found this really nasty paint chip above the left rear wheel:

Big chip



I need to fix this is one way or another. I already have some subaru touchup paint, but i was wondering if langka will do the job? Or is this too big of a chip for langka to work very well? Has anyone had any success or failure using langka with the thin subaru paint?
 
wow.. that's a nasty chip :( I wouldn't use the touchup that you got at the dealership. Those paints are normally very thick and difficult to get into the chip without it blobbing. Go to a good local paint shop and have them make you some properly thinned touchup. I think that chip may be to big as you've said though. I don't know if you're going to be able to have it look perfect again, but certainly it will look better than it does now :D
 
well the dealer touchup paint from the dealer is supposed to be blobby, that's where the langka comes in. i don't need it to be perfect, just better than this and no rust.
 
It appears to me that the chip has gone past the primer and into the metal - very nasty. The first thing you should do is sand the metal very slightly and apply some sort of primer, this will prevent rust forming and causing more of your $$$ to go down the bin. As for the repair id go with neo - have some thinned metallic paint made up for you and apply it in THIN coats. It wont be perfect but it should help considerably.
