    Default repairing paint job?

    Hey,
    Recently bought a used car which has a lot of chips at the front and some other areas which arent looking too flash. Just wondering whether touch up paint will fix them all or what else i could use. And also what touch up paint to get, and where from. My car is a 1998 Executive Commodore and is a blackish blue colour. Definitly not black black.

    I saw the title and thought, why are they asking on a Commodore forum on how to repair pants??

    this is the correct answer.

    a small bottle of nail poilsh and a pack of sanding 'rosettes' which are little 20 cent piece sized sandpaper things. paint lottle dobs on each chip, then after its dry (next day) sand off the 'head' of the dob then buff it.

    then drink beers.

    I got touch-up paint from Holden, matched perfectly. My car had paint protection from early in life, so paint never faded, and touch-up is damn near invisible.
