Paint chips
« on: 28 August 2009, 13:50 »
Hi all

Have had my lovely, black GTI for nearly 18 months (from new) and have got a number of small chips and mini scrapes from b***tards in car parks etc. How this happens i don't know as I try to park over 2 spaces  :grin: (not really).

Does anyone know if I should go to "Chips Away" or similar or if there is a good touch up repair pen.

You can buy a touch up pen from your VW dealer for about £4.

Alternatively, go to somewhere like Chips Away (or similar) and they will be able to do a much better job of it.

Thanks. Will try the pen first but have never had much success with brush type ones. Failing that will give Chips Away a shout.

Touch up pen then use a cocktail stick rather then the heavy brush. I normally clay it quickly after which i find removes any excess paint to make it less noticable.
