I'm taking Ambrosia in on Friday morning for clear shield installation. I was planning on spending my day off tomorrow touching up some small chips. However, the forecast is now calling for rain both days and I do not have a garage.
I do have the MINI paint stick basecoat and clear lacquer and all it says is to let it dry 30 mins in between applications. Now my questions :
1. Is this the best option I have for doing a quick touch up prior to clear bra installation? Or do you recommend other products instead/in addition to.
2. What is the best method to use for effective chip touch-up?
3. Is the rain going to screw up my plans? Or am I doing this too soon before the clear bra prep and application? How long is recommended final drying time anyway?
Any tips, advice or info is greatly appreciated!!!
An option is to take it to a body shop and let them do the chips.
Most good paint and body shops will do chip touch-up and do it much better than most of us. The shop I worked at only charged $30 if you were a customer anytime in the past.
However, they may not be willing to do it in your time frame. It never hurts to ask.

the thing to look out for most is to get the touch up even height with the
surrounding paint. otherwise you will see a white void area through
your clearbra.
