touching up whitewaterpearl

I have rock chips and i was trying to fill them in before i got the clear bra. well the paint is too clear for it to cover up a black hood chip. any thoughts/ideas? I'm going this weekend for the clear bra.

Is the factory primer showing? What coolor paint did you use as filler? :huh:

I had the same problem before I got my clear bra. I had one chip on the hood that went down to the metal. The body shop at my dealer charged me $40 to use my touch up paint, wet sand it flat, and hit it with a little clear coat. You can notice a slight differance in the color, but even I have trouble finding where the touch up was done.

i wonder if i can find some white primer

these chips i have are like .4 of a mm.. clera bra is goin on this weekend

Primer will look like ass. The dealer should have touch up paint at the parts counter. It's like $5 a bottle and it's as close as your going to get to factory w/out having the whole section repainted. Keep in mind you're only going to have to do this once...after that the warranty on the bra will cover mishaps.

I had the same proble using the touch-up paint provided by the dealer. The paint doesn't do the best job of hiding chips because the plastic is black.

i have whitewater pearl dealer touchup paint. the shit is clear. when u touch up a black spec, its still black.. not its a black spec w/ a bubble of paint over it

haha you guys and your rock chips.
try this on for size....
this last weekend, I pulled a pre-preg splash off my hood to make a carbon fiber hood and well... things didnt go as planned. after wrestling with the cure cycle for some 20+hrs, the resin must have ate through the mold release and bonded to my hood. it took me 4 hours and about 50 wedges to pry my hood out of the mold.... I think Im going to need a lot of touch-up bottles... and some bondo, and a hammer.

just had to share with someone.
