Hi, a rock kicked up and chipped the paint on the bottom edge of the rear fender. It's mirage orange. Metal is now exposed. What is the best way to repair this? Thanks
If you are talking about a small chip, try this..........
For a temp fix until you can get it repainted, go to a store with a big selection of finger nail polish. You will be amazed at how close you can match most colors. If you take your time, and put it on carefully, it will be barely noticible at all. Probably you will be the only one who can tell. It will also protect the exposed metal. I have touched up some really high end cars with it with great results.
