I would rather leave it as is if the fix looks worse than it does now.
Anyone out there done this and achieved a good result?
Bluecoupe seems to be a master painter, any tips?
I imagine filling the ding under flush with the silver paint and then putting the clearcoat on.
There are loads of Utube vids on this but which one is the best way I am not too sure. Some are pure rubbish.
180 I believe the paint code is XZA Crossfire Satin Silver. I to must correct my windshield trim pieces, so please correct me if I have the code wrong.
