Chippity, Chip, Chip............

Post by csharrigan »

Ugh... Almost six months old and a crap load of chips on front fascia, and hood. Vibe sure has a quality paint job. What's the best touch up tecnique with least visibility of repair, and minimal blotching? Has anyone tried langka? How does it work?Thanks,Chris

I do not have an excessive amount of chips and the paint hold up seems normal to me verses other cars I have or had. I use a normal bottle of touch up, touch them up immediately and rub them down if needed...

I've had my 2000 Dodge Stratus for almost 6 years. I've had my Vibe for less than 6 months. The damn Vibe has more chips.
