I painted my k20 last spring and with my inexperience while aligning the doors and fenders i chipped them on the edges.

I am highly considering repainting the truck but i am unsure what is the best method to fix these chips.
Would i have to use filler puddy to fix the chipps that are on the edges or could i feather them out.


Would it be best to repaint the hood, fenders doors and cab? or can i blend the panels and reclear the whole clip and hood.


Help would be great

THank you

Liam

Depends on how bad the chips are and how many there are. If they are just on the very edges, you can touch them up (carefully) several times to get the thickness built up and they won't be noticeable.
