brookspw,

The key to a good touch up paint application is patience. Mike from Meguiars explained the following to me which has worked for him.

1. Go to a hobby/art store and purchase the finest paint brush available. (The tip should be extremely fine)

2. Prep the surface of the chip by first using rubbing alcohol. Then create a point with a piece of very find sand paper (3000grit) and quickly and carefully sand the surface of the chip. Clean again with alcohol.

3. Use the fine paint brush and apply a very very VERY little amount of paint to the chip. The paint should be nearly see through. Move to the next chip. Once the car has been touched up once allow to dry (1 - 2 Hours) and apply a second coat. Let dry.....apply again.....let dry....apply again until the chip has filled in.

4. Depending on how careful you were you might need to wetsand the area were the chip is.....this is where I can't help you, I don't know the proper wetsanding procedure so I'll leave it do someone else to explain this.

I still don't know if I have the patience to do this but I think I'm going to give it a try in a couple of weeks.
