Paint Chip Touch Up Repair

---

Paint chips on an automobile's hood, front bumper, and mirrors typically appear as small, irregularly shaped areas where the top layer of paint has been removed, exposing the underlying material. These chips can vary in size, but they are often just a few millimeters in diameter. The color of the exposed area will depend on the vehicle's construction; it might show bare metal, primer (usually gray or black), or plastic.

The most common cause of paint chips is impact from small debris, like stones or gravel, that are thrown up by other vehicles' tires, especially on highways or in construction zones. These high-speed impacts can remove paint and even dent the surface. 

Touching up rock chips on a car's paint is a meticulous process that can significantly improve the appearance of your vehicle and prevent rust. 

1. Clean the Area: Begin by washing the chipped area thoroughly with special cleaning solution to remove any dirt and debris from the damaged area.
2. Assess the Damage: Examine the chips closely. If there's any sign of rust,  we use a rust remover to clean it out. 
3. Choose the Right Paint: Choose or mix the touch-up paint that matches the cars color. 
4. Apply the Paint: Use special tools to fill in the chip with the touch-up paint.
5. Level the Paint: Once the paint is dry, we have a process to level it with the surrounding area. 
6. Polish the Area: After the paint is completely dry, we gently polish the area to blend it with the surrounding paint.
