Default Re: Primer / Sealer

I would start with if possible take the panel and lay it flat. Take some high build primer and fill the chip with a small brush. Just kind of make a puddle you can wet sand flat afterward. If you sealed the panel after primer and before paint try to mix in some of the sealer to get the same shade as what you sealed it with. The closer you get the primer color to what is under the base the better. You can then wet sand the primer with 600 flat to the clear. Keep the repaired area as small as possible when sanding.

You then want to wet sand the long scratches for buffing "but don't buff it". Go back and spray the chip area " with reduced air to minimize overspray" starting in the center to cover it and then blend outward about 2 or 3 inches. Spray on the clear doing the same blending out making sure you go an inch or two past the base color One coat regular mix of clear but the second coat thin it out with reducer by about 50%. Now be careful when spraying this because it will be much thinner.

When you wet sand the area for buffing just do it normal but make sure you don't sand the edges of the clear back to the color area. Buff the entire area and you will see a slight ring around it but it won't be that bad.

Or you can do the primer trick with a brush sand it flat blend out a bigger area with color and then re clear the whole panel.
