Default Chip in Paint...

With a deep chip in the paint (all the way to the primer), what do you do to cover? We painted it ourselves and don't have any of the color left over (69' Hugger organge). I have hear nail polish or superglue to keep from the hole spreading? Thanks

There's no way around it, you're gonna need some touch-up paint. If you can't get it matched, isn't that a standard GM color (it should come close)? Whatever you use, follow up with Langka, and no one will ever know it was there except you.

Get a hold of some matching touch up paint, go to Wal-Mart and get a touch up kit with primer, filler, sandpaper, clearcoat and fix it your self. Not too time consuming.

Fill the chip with touch up paint, take an ice cube and melt it to the couture of the service and wipe it over the spot. Just give the touchup paint about fifteen min to set before.

I appreciate the help...I got the color at a local paint shop, so I don't know if I can get a small amount, but will try. Thanks
