Not if ya do it the right way....Pep Boys sells a pretty neat kit for touching up paint, near the spraypaint in the store. A quick way to do it is to get the touch up paint and a very fine toothpick...dab some on the end of the toothpick (not a lot!) and keep filling the chip till it matches the level of the paint around it....hope this helps...

NOOOOO fury stay away from that paint stuff at pep boys, i dont recommend, nor does many people, things just dont match up right, it looks really cheap and noticeable, even though it is only a nick. One

I was referring to the tools to use to dab the paint on, not the paint itself. They seel just the little swab lookin things there separately. I would suggest using the factory paint match from your dealer, only a few bucks...

Make sure you strip your car's wax first by using dishwashing soap on the area prior to applying the paint.

Damn I suck. I didn't fill up the holes completely. I'll try again later.

I was using the touch-up paint from the dealer and toothpicks. I'll go to Pep Boys and look for that thing you were talkin about.

2Hottie 08-01-2002 08:27 AM
Yeah, it takes a lil bit with the toothpicks. I have several chips I fixed with the toothpicks, but I wanna try those swab things @ Pep Boys, lemme know how it works out..
