Default Help with paint chips.....

I have some paint chips here and there on my front bumper on my Championship White Type R and i have the touchup paint...just wondering if you guys have any good techneques or anything on how to fill them or what tools to use to do it? I wonder is a body shop will know what to do to get them out?

Maybe try to test it on something before you try it on the actual car. Something that you'll also need is a steady hand Good luck bro

Most of the time, chips are too small for the brush that came with the touch up paint. Toothpicks sometimes are the perfect size for this kind of situations. I would also suggest purchasing a finer brush from a hobby store for those chips that are bigger for the toothpick, but still smaller for the brush that came with your paint.
