- Well, I confess that I don't have EXTENSIVE background in alkyd, but I have a lot of spec sheets. Most companies list all their paint flavours with features. One feature sheet I have at hand compares

- Got my car painted at the end of September. Yesterday, I noticed that there was a small chip above the rear wheel, right down to the primer. Horrors!!! Any suggestions on how to repair it and make it

- Hey Nina: Here are my suggestions to your paint problem. (I'm assuming that you don't have a clear coat) Either go back to the painter or the store where the paint was purchased and obtain a small tu

- An old autobody man once gave me tips on touching up paint. DON'T use the brush that comes with the touch up paint! For small scratches use a toothpick to lay the paint into the scratch-- Layer it in

- Nina. Fill in the chip gradually with touch up paint until just barely higher than the surrounding paint. Do this in steps, and be sure and let the paint cure a day or so between steps. Then take 150
