I need some touch up paint!

I've just got a stone chip on the bonnet (hood) right at the top today and it's gone through to the metal. I need to get some paint in it right away and was wondering (as it's late on Saturday) where I might be able to get some tomorrow while the weathers good.

Or do I wailt until monday? AS it's gone to the metal I presume, primer, mid coat and lacquer will be required.

Is there an online place like https://www.paintscratch.com/ in the UK as these seem pretty good.

Thanks all.

Rich

Re: I need some touch up paint!

Here's a tip. Don't use the brush in the cap, it's too big. Get a dowel and sharpen one end to a point, use the point to transfer minute amounts of paint (from a beer bottle cap) into the crater created by the stone. Transfer paint in this way until it is slightly above level (shrinks a bit when it dries). I wouldn't worry too much about using a primer since touch up paint *is* a different formula than regular paint and probably has primer-like qualities built into it. good luck.

Re: I need some touch up paint!

Dear Rich,

You better get use to getting rock chips on the hood and front bumper of your 911 because it is very common and it will happen. I usually touch them up once every 1 to 2 months following a car wash. I just apply the touch up directly as MMD said. I use one of those very fine point scale model paint brush to apply. Good luck.

Re: I need some touch up paint!

I endorse the Paint Scratch. com folks. Quick service.

They will make up any paint color that you have,--to include basalt black!

Application tip: Use a wooden match stick. Take your pocket knife to itt and sharpen the tip. Also, feel free to water down the paint with some thinner. I think that PCBen on Rennlist gave a thorough description (search) on how to best do this.

Re: I need some touch up paint!

Dan, Alex,

Thanks for the tips. I collect the touch up pen from the opc on Wednesday and the cocktail stick is a great idea.

I'll do some before and after shots and promise not to edit them in Photoshop.
