Default ISF Paint Chip Coolness
So....a few weeks ago I was using the orbital....I scratched my back bumper and was devastated. After checking the forums i noticed a few guys have commented on how they have managed to repair chipped paint, scratches etc.... Anyway, after reading the forums for best repair I decided to let the dealer have a look before purchasing the paint. I showed the body shop manager the issue and he said wait one sec....he came out with the infamous two pens for SFP and fixed it on the spot....no charge.... Now that's service.

Nice service, or $12.95 to DIY.

i stay away from orbitals and do things by hand, to avoid damage like that.

get a Porter cable DA (dual action). way safer, and way better result then doing it by hands. Its pretty much dummy proof. haha

The pen is a two-step process. The first pen is white, once that dries, apply the second pen for the pearl effect.
