Some paint chipped off on my 06 Toyota Coralla (thanks god not on my crossfire). I think it was caused by a bicycle or stroller crashing on it when it was parked on the street. about 3 cm long, 1cm width, exposing the bare metal. Today I spot some rush started on that area.

I want to know what is the correct way to fix it. also regarding the touch up paint, are there any difference between the one from toyota and other brands (speaking of quality, not color matching) Thanks.

Second update:
WORSE THAN I THOUGH.....

So the area in the middle is bare metal, with some rust started. But I found something worse. The surrounding paint is also chipping off, the paint doesn't stick to the car, and I can easily peel it off. What should I do???

 

use lanka paint system.

 

What is the lanka paint system? I have never heard the term before.

 

The best way to fix a toyota is to SELL IT...

Then buy another Crossfire!

 

lanka makes your touch up paint fill the scratch better, it seems to help the paint blend/bond better to your original paint. Good stuff, take her advise.

I was reading from other sites about the paint fix, should I use sandpaper to sand it smooth before I apply the touch up paint? I worry if I will chip off more paint when I use sand paper. Is there anyone can help?

Yes it is on my corolla, not the crossfire, but it only got 2k miles on it, so I do want a good fix.

 

If it chips off more paint, good.....it would have come off anyhow, causing you to have to repair it again!

BTW......next time post this where it belongs.....in the "other cars" section of the forum!
