    Flakey/Chipped Paint - Touch up

    Hey guys,

    My Mk3 is looking tired and the paint is pretty faded and in most panels, there is a chip, scratch or flakey paint.

    Whats my best option to make it a little better? Touch up paint?

    I am just thinking of touching up the noticeable bits and just try and buff it well..

    For instance, I badged my car and some paint came off with it.

    Thanks!

    I would say a respray would be a good option, but pricey. As you are from Sydney I would contact Car Care Products directly and show them your car and they will advice you what would be the best option for you.
    There is no magic bullet to fix your car and I will cost you some $$$

      Alright, I might just murder it out with black spray paint, would be the easiest option. Bog fill and sand back the imperfections.
      I would rather not do this though, if I can patch up the black paint.
