Paint chip/small ding repair folks??? I am looking for someone that can color match a few little rock chips on my CETA (yellow) and fix 2 little dings i have on the car. I have had one guy say he would do it but seemed really high. Anybody out here good at that type of thing?

How big are the chips? Can you post pics? I've done chip/clearcoat repair when detailing, but that's for small spots like rock chips.
As for the dings, if there isn't a paint chip/scratch, call Dent Blasters. They do wonders with paint-free dent repair.

That's a pretty good howto guide, if you want to try to do it yourself. I typically don't use anything rougher than 2500 grit sandpaper, though (the article says 800-grit). You can go a long way making paint chips less noticeable without having to spend a fortune, as long as you're patient.
