yo, my paint on my wings west "mugen style" lip has numerous chips on it from rocks and what not. i was wondering how i should approach this. should i just use touch up paint or should i repaint it using spray paint? it looks fine at night because my car is black but during the day, its pretty noticeable. also, i was wondering what the best black spray paint is that will match "granada black pearl" THE BEST. and how should i go about painting this so it will reduce the amount of chips i will get in the future, such as how many coats, primer, and clear coat? thanks people

 

http://www.paintscratch.com they sell it in a spray can

 

if they're just chips I'd just use touch up paint and LIGHTLY sand it with 1-2000 grit sand paper. After it's had time to fully cure (a month probobly)...

Then buff the whole thing.

If you want to spray paint it I'd just paint some tester pieces with different brands till you find one you think matches nicely...

i have never used it personally but i have seen results on this site and they have great stuff that matches really good. It is praised by H-T

 

Just go to autozone or pep boys or something of the sort... look for "Duplicolor" spray cans,goes by paint codes (i used it on my blk 92 teg and it was hardly noticable day/night....just be patient and spray alotta LIGHT coats

 

i might just go with paintscratch.com. i looked through their site and i think i'd be happier knowing they have the same color spray paints as my car the only thing is that their prices suck so how would i go about painting this so i wouldn't get stress marks and minimal chips? how many coats of primer, base coat, and clear coat?
