How to touch up chipped paint ?

[rajul]

Hi folks ! I have a few spots on my Camry where the paint has chipped off. I am concerned of rust setting in. How should I rustproof and repaint these spots ?

I would also like to know how reliable is the original rustproofing in a Camry ?

Thanks in advance !

Have you talked to a Autoshop? I'm sure they could tell ya some ways to do it.

Go to the dealer and get some touch-up paint, but test it on a small unnoticeable spot first.

Good Luck

You could just apply the touch up paint from the dealer. I thikn it's like 2 bucks. I got some rusts in the panel and I sanded them down and applied touch up paint. You have no idea how these rusts can spread so quickly. I got hit in the rear and I've postponed the repair and it rained 1 whole week nonstop and when i removed the bumper, that area in the qauter panel has a lot of rusts.

Has anyone tried the Langka product? Does it work?
