:( I have a chip on my xB down to the metal (starting to rust). I'm not a paint guy so I'm not real sure how to fix it. Anyone in the DFW area handy with paint and works cheap? :cry: Some asshole threw a hand full of pennies at me a while back while coming to work. Wish I could find the prick again. :guns:

Touch up paint is like...$7 at the dealership. That's what I've been doing.

If it went to the metal and it's starting to rust, touch up will not solve this problem. Time to go to a bodyshop and have the panel repainted. Sounds harsh, but had it not started to rust, I could have given some other suggestions.

Sorry to hear about your pain .. :x

You can sand it down using a very fine grit sandpaper and then touch it up.... then hit it with clearcoat.
