Small chips on Paint work

[PolitoHood]

What do you do when u get a small stone chip, I got 2 small chips on my new DC5S and one is just through the primer. Should I buy some touch up paint(from Honda? or someone else in Sydney?) how do i prepare it so it don't rust later on under the paint?

I don't know much about it, please help

how do i clean the chip?
and how does it work(spray) it like a tiny chip 2mm X 1mm and another 4mm x 3mm

nah, it is like a bottle of nail polish. not spray

clean it with proper "automotive paint degreaser" that you can buy from Autoone or simialr

then buy a few tiny brushes from a hobby store, and slowly and gradually build up layers inside the hole made by the chip...

letting each layer dry between applications...

do not try to fill the hole in one go.

no need for this post...tink already covered everything

what you probably could do is what tink said above, build it slightly above the paint line, then compound and polish it back, itll be less noticeable that way... just make sure you let the touched up area dry for a good week

Yeah, easy done. But make sure u do it slowly and by layers otherwise the paint can get imperfections.
