I'm pretty versed in fixing/filling paint chips on single stage paint. Since the XF is 2-stage (paint/clear) I'm wondering how deep the paint is. Especially on large chips I try to mix the paint so that it will level out after drying. However, when color sanding it smooth, if the paint is thin, you're down to primer.

My 'new' XF just arrived and has numerous chips in the black paint. Possibly at some point I'll need to repaint the hood, but for now I just want to make the chips less noticeable.

I have some black single stage, but not sure if I have any hardener for it. Or is there a specific black/color you use?

And does anyone know if the base coat is water based or mineral?
