The previous owner has really done a terriffic job on the 4 or 5 small chips that are evident so I want to keep on top of them.
bunna Legacy Donating Member 813 Member For: 20y 1m 10d Posted 08/03/11 08:28 AM Posted 08/03/11 08:28 AM $20 a bottle! What a rip! A steady hand and not very much paint on the brush are the best way. Smaller chips use a folded up piece of paper to apply the paint.
