Re: I hate the highways here :(
you can use touch up paint, fill it with the correct color, then wetsand it smooth, put some clear coat touch up over it if its big enough, wetsand again, polish, and wax.
ill admit, its harder than it sounds. try to work in as small of an area as you can. sanding is definitely the hardest part. after you fill in the chip start with about 800 grit in a small area, and go with that until the edges disappear around the chip. then put on the clear, and sand that up to 1500, then 2000. then polish and glaze/wax.
expect it to look better, but not perfect.:)

Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
