There use to be a company near me that repaired small chips and scratches on site. But I can not find them. My car is the factory dark metallic green, and needs some repair on the paint. Anybody have suggestions on what "name" or process to find such a company? All I keep finding is dent wizards, who I also need to hire but getting the chips and scratches is far more important to me as I need to get the chips fixed to prevent rust.

one cool way to fill alot chips is to get alot (good amount) of paint, then you put it on the vehicle, and use a squeegee to apply and drag it overthe chips, I've done this several times on Pontiac's and a few cavaliers, came out pretty good, just gotta have patience. IM NOT SUGGESTING YOU DO THIS ON YOUR CAR< IT TAkes skill and time !!!

I used this kit myself which had great results for some rock chips on my car. Really easy to do too.

I may have to get that, very similar to the process I saw used. They used regular paint with a hardener and then buffed smooth with a reducer. But they mixed the paint to factory spec with a machine in their truck.

Where would I find the paint code at?? I'm slightly color blind, but yes it looks to me to be the same as yours.

My car is laser red which can be a bitch to match, the drcolorchip got it perfect just by giving them the paint code
