    paint chips

    I have a couple of questions.

    A. I`m working with poorboys products mainly. My car has fairly new looking paint with swirls and one or two chips. For the chips, I have a small bottle of paint I had the local paint complany to make for me. Which step do I fill in the couple of craters or chips.
    (products: exp,pwc,pp,ssr1,ssr2,etc)


    B. Explain which of the poorboy products could be applied two or even three times for the better look. (ex. glossy,wet)

    PwC you can apply by machine and then follow up with a hand applied coat for glazing like properties, EX-P that is what you can layer (3 is probably best - 24 horus apart between layers to let the previous layer cure).

    not sure by what you mean steps for the touch up paint.. ?

    What I`m guessing is, that I should definately do the touch up first, before I proceed with other chemicals.

    Yes,
    Clean all wax and oil off the chipped areas.
    Then wipe them with denatured alcohol or lacquer thinner before adding the paint.
    To properly fill the chip will take several thin applications over several hours and then a little wet sanding with 2000 grit paper followed up with SSR 2.5 or 3 on a cotton cloth rubbed back and forth to remove the sanding marks.
