Haha np. Actually I need to patch up my car a little bit first. I have some problem on hand now with paint chipping issues. Would be great if I can get advice from the bros here on how to patch them up

Hmmm bullet, carton sticker lolz. Just kidding, whole car wrapping is the one i m referring to. Or respray only the damaged panels. U mean DIY or CnC will apply the touch up paint? I think is the former, if yes forgot it. Only professional painter can do it but the result is so so only. I might be wrong, do share with us the result ya.

Seems like the scratch/chip is quite deep. I think the only way is to go for respray.

Polishing with a groomer might help a bit, but it will still be visible. 

 

Getting touch up paint from C&C and DIY is a bad idea. I tried DIY before and it looks worse than if I had left it alone. At least the chips are the battle scars from NSH

I called CnC recently and they advise to respray as well. I might just do touch up then prolly respray nearing CNY. I'm just worried that the bare metal exposed will start to rust if I dun touch up and the surface may be damage if I go for wax and polish with the damaged area left alone. Will my concerns really happen?
