Smokin Asphalt touch-up paint?

[Blackbird]

I have a few unsightly rock chips. Does Dupilcolor or any other company make an exact-match touch-up paint for the Smokin Asphalt?

I've read up on how to use touch-up paint, clay and other wet sanding material for fixing rock chips. We have a few deep ones on the front of the hood.

I was curious as to if there are any members out there that are experienced at this and can share some tips. I'd like to try and fix a few of the chips but the procedure scares the hell out of me! LOL!

Thanks!
Michael

If you use the LANGKA kit you will have perfect results. I've used it on all my vehicles and the results are amazing. You use your factory touchup paint along with this kit.

Make sure chip's are clean for bugs & dirt. Put a small amount of paint on chip and re-coat until you have built up enough to be a little higher then the rest of the area. Let dry for a few days and then sand whole area with 2000 wet & dry (dry)sandpaper bringing down your build up to the same level of the area, don't worry about sanding outside the chip area. Once that is done rub out whole area with fine cut rubbing compound (3M) by hand doing a real good job and all scratches will disappear. Wax and your done...
I've done many this way and can't tell were the chip was, a good chip repair takes time...

I heard someone tell me to use a matchbook match, it will soak up the paint enough not to have it drip and will fill in the small areas nicely

Practice before you begin. If you have the correct applicators & finishing tools you could do an excellent touch up. The finishing sanders or sticks are the key.

Had my R detailed several years ago and the detial guy left a paint stick in the R. Looks like a magic marker. You dab the paint into the chip until it fills up, then any paint that is left on outside of the chip you wipe off with a towel and off you go. Sorry but there was no name on the stick and the detail shop has gone out of business.
Don't know what I will do when the paint stick runs dry.

Instructions

To repair paint chips, follow Steps 1 through 5.
To repair finish flaws, follow Steps 1,4, and 5.
Clean the area. All grease, was, and oil must be removed from the affected area. If the area is not perfectly clean, the repair may fail quickly, or the underlying metal could start to rust beneath the new paint. (Our #40041Z PRE Surface Prep, an easy to use aerosol, does the job very well.) If the chip has already started to rust, you must clean it out. (Our #34004 Fiberglass Rust Brush is perfect for this sort of job.)
Apply touch-up paint in layers. Build-up several thin layers of paint finish (see diagram). Professional paint shops allow each coat of touch-up paint to cure overnight before applying the next. Although time-consuming, this makes for a better repair.
Sand new paint level with existing finish. Remove one self-adhesive Sanding Disc from the spool and place it on the Fingertip sanding Spool. Dampen the sanding disc with water. Using a wet sponge, wet the repair area and add a drop of Paint Polish to make a 50/50 mix of polish and water. Sand the repair area by rotating the spool between your thumb and forefinger. Try to sand as small an area as possible, and use just enough pressure to smooth the area. Keep sanding until the touch-up paint is level with the surrounding paint.
NOTE: Do not rub spool back and forth, and keep the area wet while sanding.
Buff out the repair with the buffing pad. Attach the Velcro Backup Pad to an electric drill or low-speed (2,000 RPM or less) polisher. Put a "dime-sized" spot of Paint Polish on the repair area and turn the drill polisher on. Move the drill over the area in slow, circular motions, using medium pressure for about 10 seconds. Keep the drill running and release some pressure, continuing to polish for about another 2 or three seconds to get maximum gloss.
Clean and Wax Clean the area with water and a damp cloth. When the area is dry, apply a good-quality car wax to protect the finish. Waxing will help prevent future problems. Remember, paint and chrome plating are porous; moisture can get under the finish and lift the surface coating, which will make the base metal rust.
