Hi all,
Just how hard is it to touch up a car that has been sprayed in two pack paint? I have a few small stone chips along the side of my car and would like to get them removed.
I've heard all sorts of rumours about two pack paint. One of them being that the whole panel needs to be resprayed to remove the stone chips and that it can't be touched up like acrylic paint.

In short: It can be done, it just depends what kind of finish you want.

Hi antelopeslr5000,
I did a training day at PPG paints on this topic,
they call it "smart repair",
Is repairing 2 pack paint finishes that have small areas of damage,
like less that an A4 page size, ideal for stone chips.
There are repairers who specalise in this form of paint repairs.
can be found in the yellow pages.
example of the repair technique.
For COB finish,
(ie Clear over base)
Basics are,
Rub back the damaged area,
plus an equivilent area around to blend the clear,
apply their clear primer, dry using uv lamp,
apply colour, allow to dry,
apply clear, and apply fade out to edges of blend,
dry in booth or infrared heater,
damage repaired.
Is only suitable for damage not requiring panel beating.
What you have heard about having to repaint a whole panel is usually true for most repairers,
as is faster and gets better reults to strip and repaint a whole bonnet
(for example) than repairing many stone chips.
Cheers
Chris

Thanks for the info Chris.
I might have to look you up when I'm back in Brisbane and see what you think would be the best approach. They're only very small stone chips so I can't see it being that big of a problem.
