Default Paint Chip

Morning Gents,

I wake up, pull my car out the garage, low and behold there is a nice paint chip on the trunk lid. Mind you is a small chip, about the size of your pinky nail but it's noticeable to me . I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to get this fixed or could redirect me to a thread where others had done similar things in the past.

Located in the great north - Canada.

Thanks!

Check out Dr. ColorChip. I'm thinking of placing an order myself for some chips on the front.

Do you know the color code for Ultra White - 2016 Fsport? I can't seem to locate a ultra white color on Dr. ColorChip

Thanks!

If you look on their website it shows you where to look on your vehicle to find the exact color code. Also, yesterday I was able to do a google search for "Lexus Atomic Silver Color Code" and it returned a web page that had it.

+1 for Dr Colorchip. If the chip is 'large' I've been successful filling/painting the chip with a small brush and using their paint, with several coats. (If its is a smaller chip, then their method works fine).

It's odd that they label it asWhite Nova GF Pearl Tricoat even though the color is ultra white.

Should be fine though.
