looks alot better but you wont be able to get it perfect

 

I'm a beginner to this stuff. I bought the only brand of sand paper that they had from autozone, I don't remember the name. It is 2000 grit though. Same thing with the polish, I bought whatever white polish they had and some microfiber towels to work it in with.

Yea, I've made peace with that part.

 

Maybe I didn't explain it well enough. I thought maybe you had a bit of experience. You must machine polish after you wet sand. Hand polishing with whatever you bought at Autozone won't get the sanding marks out.

After you've applied the touch up paint, use a quality wet sand paper (like 3M or Meguiar's) and a sanding backing pad. The pad helps you to apply even consistent pressure so as not to gouge the clear coat like it will if you use just your fingertips. Sand it well so that you blend in the rough edges of the repair into the existing paint. Use delicate light pressure so as not to sand off the clear coat of the paint surrounding the chip. If it were me, I'd use 1000, then 1500, then 2000. Use plenty of water while sanding it. Then use a PC or Flex to polish out the sanding haze. I've used Meguiar's M105 on orange followed by M205 on white for great rests. If you've done it right, you may be able to barely see the corrected chip a little bit but you won't see any sanding marks or haze.

 

Years ago I had a dent removed at a paintless dent repair shop. Aside from removing dents they also touched up paint chips on cars. They would lightly sand the chipped areas so they faired in better to the good paint surface then they used a small airless paint sprayer to apply the paint. This seemed to do a pretty good job.
It is very hard to use one of the touch up bottles to fill in chips properly. The paint in the touch up bottles always seems to be way too thick.

 

Which touch up paint is producing the best result?
