Problem: You’re peacefully enjoying some back roads with your classic when some jerk suddenly pulls in front of you and–bam!–chucks a pebble at your hood.
Solution: If you’re patient, you can fix the resulting chip yourself and make the repair invisible. The experts at Automotive Restorations, Inc., showed us how to do the job right.
This solution may work with flat paint, but does not work well at all with metallic paint (which of course almost all new cars are). It will result in a rather clear color difference. Using the "smear" technique (putting a blob in the chip then wiping it flat with a surgical glove) is a big improvement, but is still hard to get invisible.
And don't forget the Clear Coat. Need to leave room for a tiny spot of that as well before finishing and buffing.
