    Paint Chips

    Anyone have any advice on paint chipping? I bought my car brand new about 2 months ago, I wonder if it's covered under warentee. My dad commutes the same road that I do, 80 miles, I dunno if something kicked up from the road, but I have maybe three in different spots on my car, and my dad barely has any visible paint chips on his Tacoma.

    Sorry, the picture quality is terrible since it's almost 10PM and I just took these pics from my car in the garage.

    I didn't really notice anything until today when I washed and waxed my car. But after I saw it, it's all I see when I look at my car from the front now. Any ideas?

    Use a toothpick to fill in the chips with body color paint. Then use a toothpick to fil it with clear coat till it's level with the rest of the car. Let it dry for a day, then carefully wet sand the bump down so that it's smooth with 1000 grit wetsand paper. Then use polish to bring back out the shine. That's what I do.
