suggestions: chip removal & wetsand

[svalleynsx]

I recently had my passenger door chipped by a careless, older woman in a beat up sedan. Does anyone know of a good repair shop in the bay area that specializes in paint touch up? It's very, very minor, in fact you could miss it at first glance it's that small. Nevertheless, I want it done right and brought back to near-original if possible w/o re-spraying the whole door.

Thanks for the suggestion though I'm actually looking for a more permanent shop and not one of those mobile franchise outfits. If anyone has had any good experiences with these guys I might look into it though.

My car has several little chips (track rash) and I have ordered a repair kit from the site mentioned above to do-it-myself.

The photos on the site look great, I'm curious to see if they're accurate.

I'll report results.

The mobile guys are actually better than the body shops at this sort of thing because that's all they do.

I'm interested in touching up a Berlina Black with a few hood chips. Also the bumper has lots of tiny tiny white specks that are not big enough to be called chips.

The car was just polished and detailed (thanks Vytas!) and addressing these few remaining issues would make the car perfect.

So does anyone have recommendations for paint shops, mobile or otherwise, or alternatives in the Bay Area? Does the aforementioned kit work? Anyone tried the body colored wax?

I might also want some small chips in the windshield filled.

I haven't had this kind of work done before so any and all advice welcomed.
