Pick up a matching single stage paint that isn't lacquer based. ( Dries too quickly. ) Get a very tiny brush from a hobby store. Also some naptha. Don't thin the paint. As you want the paint to have some body to it. As you don't want the paint to flow out of the chip. Place small amount of paint in the chip so that the paint sticks up above the surface you're fixing. Let that fresh paint set up for about 15 minutes. Temp/ humidity will affect the wait time. Get a small part of a paper towel very wet with naptha. Gently, and slowly whip the fresh paint so that the thinner will dissolve the high points away first. The key is to let the thinner soften the highest point first. It's kind of like sanding off the high spots. With some practice, and care. The chip will be completely gone with no signs the it was ever there.Bob Dunahugh78 Royale
