Re: Paint Chips and Ira Toyota

I've got several chips as well on my black (clear coat) TRD. A dab of touch up pain is the way to go. It's the trail scratches that kill me. The black shows EVERYTHING.

Anyone have any recommendations on how to "fill" the little while clear coat scratches on a black paint job? mcGuires "Scratch-X" removes a bit of the clear coat, but has been recommended. I also have some scratches where I got broken into in Manhattan and they smashed the drivers side rear door window and scratched it up while grabbing bags from the back seat...arg, for some reason that bugs me more than all the brush scratches I did myself off-road.
you can try bringing it to a GOOD experienced car detailer, they can buff the scratches out or even wet sand them out. it all depends how bad the scratches really are and how much material they have to remove to clear the scratches up. but if your going to be going off-road, then whats the point, its just going to get scratched more and more.
