DBR Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 ok guys/girls, i have a few stone chips on the suup with a few that are begining to go a little bit rusty? :thumbdown, What have you done in this situation?, i have heard good thinkgs about chips away but dont know how good the colour match will be with my ten yr old paintwork. Obviously a full re-spary would be ideal but i havnt got the funds at the moment, is there a tempery solution to cover them up & stop the rust untill i can afford a respray?, i was thinking maybe a chipstick from halfords, but will filling the chip with chipstick wax hold in all the moisture. any ideas peeps thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesupratt Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 if you use a chipstick, it'll make them look better but will solve nothing with the rust. I would sujest getting the areas cleaned up of the rust and blown in. This can look very unnoticable, and much cheaper than a full paint job. It cant look any worse than rusty chips. you can also get rust inhibiter, which claims to use a chemical reaction to cheange the rust back into harmless metal. just comes in a bottle from a motorfactors. but the best all round outcome for cheapness and appearance is blowing area, or panel in.
