Re: Paint chips

Biba,
   With a touch up gun, you should be able to dial it down to a very small 
pattern and meter the paint on in thin layers. You should use a stiff sanding 
block when sanding out smooth. If you get waves, you may be using too fine of 
paper at first, or perhaps not a stiff block. Dont be afraid to sand away the 
"shoulder" of the chip.
