Dan B Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 What's the best way to repair the tiny little chips you sometimes get in paintwork there's one on my door and one on my wing they're only very small (1mm) but I think there's a tiny bit of surface rust inside them so I'd like to get them sorted now before they affect the surrounding paintwork... thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 When you paint a wing you would blend it into the door anyways just get them both painted even though it may look tiny spots you won't know till its flattened right back... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Or if you can't afford it you can buy a little tube of rust eater from the likes of halfords n pencil it in so to speak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danb Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 another way is to get the paint of your car on some cotton buds and then wet sand it back and polish it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan B Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks lads, I think respraying the whole panel is a bit overkill as its literally the smallest chip imaginable it's just me being fussy but I'll try removing and treating the dot of rust and doing what you said Danb cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
