Rock chip repair

Has anyone found a good kit and process for diy rock chip repair?

Anyone?

Yep, the Lanka system that you can get at Autogeek. If you follow the instructions TO THE LETTER, you too will have positive results. :thumbsup:

yep Lanka system is the way to go. been there done that, awsome product.

Any special tricks for doing the edge of the door - like where it bumped something & knocked off the paint? I'm afraid it might look worse than if I leave it alone.

The Lanka system works well because it allows you to build up the paint in the damaged area. Once you get the scratch up to the level of the original paint, you smooth it off and no one should notice unless you get their nose down to the area. You have to follow the product's instructions to the letter, which means the repair may take a week or longer if the scratch is really, really deep.

Thanks. I'll definitely take my time.

Take you time and do the research (lots of great information out there). Practice on your daily driver (or your wife/girlfriend's) car first! Get the hang of it before you move to the beloved Vette. It took me about 3-4 months of constant practice before I was able to do what you saw in those videos. :thumbsup:

hey Ill do it, thanx again. :thumbsup:

:surprised 3 to 4 months. Good grief summer will be over by the time I am trained up to work on my Vette. And in the mean time my girl friend's Trail Blazer will be shiny'r than a new penny. Your vids make it look so easy. Hmmm guess I got all winter to get my baby shiney...I am referring to the Vette.

Take care thanks again for directing me to DC and Adams, oh and the Lanka Paint Chip System. lol

Here's great DIY quote, its called the 50-50-90 Rule: (maybe you already heard it) Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong. :rolling:

you can also use the older route on bigger screw-ups if they are 1/8" or more deep and mix fiberglass resin, hardener and talc powder into toothpaste like consistency, and use a plastic putty knife to spread the compound after wetting the chipped area with a q-tip soaked in acetone, let it dry, sand with 600 grit wet dry paper,and re-paint, done correctly its UN-noticeable if your good at matching paint, and mist it on in several light coats allowing dry time between and use light sanding with 1200 grit wet sanding between paint coats except for the last coat applied
