Car body touch up?

MFP -

To get it to look right, you're probably gonna have to do what real auto body shops do. Mask off the entire affected section, like a door, hood, fender, etc sand it smooth or a very good feathering, and repaint that section. Most anything else will look like a repair job. That's why a 1" scratch costs $2000 to fix!!!

Probably some guys here who can do spot repairs on gloss car finishes, I can't. Flat aircraft finshes, they're easy!

Archer out.

Archer,

Thanks for the input.

Try wet sanding the mistake with 2000 wet/dry sandpaper. Try not to break through the clear coat, but just remove the chrome color. Once the chrome paint is removed the spot can be polished with a mild compound or tooth paste (not gel) and waxed. rangerj
