eurospek Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 What's the best way of repairing this rock chip, the paint is down to the bare metal, also you can see the crack in the paint along with minimal edge lift around the paint chip as well. This is on the hood of my dad's 09 Outback, the rock also hit the glass but didn't even nick it. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/eurospek/chip.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wang Lung Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I don't know the answer to your question, but that is a great image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrant Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm currently researching the same issue. Have you tried a repair on it yet? I also have one that is rusting out. I suspect I need to sand it down a little first, then prime and paint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malvic Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I think it was OCDetails that pointed me to this. This is a Canadian Distributor, but sure you will be able to find it in the USA: http://www.eshine.ca/langka_complete_paint_chip_repair_kit-3111.php?cat=30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephrant Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I tried blob remover- I suspect it works as advertised if you follow the directions. I tried to remove the blob from paint that was almost a week dry, and it was hard going. My current issue is that my touch-up paint doesn't match very well. It was a good match on my Gold Forrester, but it is a little dark on the GT. I don't know if that is because of the metallic, or what. I'm going to get some from the dealer this time and see if that matches better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 so you didnt get it to work? its darker maybe because of paint fade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrant Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 The new paint in the chip is darker than the old paint. It may be due to the way the metallic flakes lay in the paint though, as it gets lighter/darker depending on where you view it. But it seams to always be a little darker, unlike the gold paint I did on the Forrester. The blob remover worked fine- it just would have been a lot easier if I had gotten it first, and used it within 2-8 hours after applying the paint, as it instructs.
