go to canadian tire, or ford, pick up a tube of touch up, like 5 bux i think, then a tub of clear, there you go! that's what i did at least, and you can't tell the difference

then you can wetsand it down, and high-speed polish it, and you won't even know there was a stone chip.

I got my tube of Sangria Red touchup from Stockfish, it wasn't much. I didn't wet-sand the touchups down, and unless you know where to look you still can't really tell where I did the touchups.

I've thought of that already... but sadly, no. Not like we'd like it to, either. That's something you'd have to maybe wet-buff with a bit of colour match in a chamois or terrycloth (ultra-soft stuff) and then wet-sand down maybe??? :huh:
I did a quick test on the interior of my trunk and got frustrated. I've got some scuffs I'd like to do up too, but have run out of ideas on save re-spraying an entire body panel or the crazy idea I listed above.
