How To Repair Chipped Paint

Posted: 18 Apr 2010 03:03 PM PDT

There's nothing more frustrating than seeing a bit of paint chipped from your beautifully painted wall or car. Chipped paint often makes the surface ugly, and applying new paint without taking careful steps will just make matters worse. So before you put a hand on the brush and paint, take these steps instead to make sure that you're doing the right thing, and not simply aggravating the chip on your surface:

1.    Clean the chipped area.

Your chipped paint is just like a wound, so before repainting the area that has been scratched or chipped, clean the area first. There's no use applying a new coat when you still have loose paint lying around the area, because this may cause further flaking and chipping in the future. Use a putty knife to flatten out the chipped paint and make sure that no loose paint is sticking out of the surface.

2.    Remove rust and other particles that may prevent you from applying a new layer of paint.
