hi, guys.
yesterday in a parking lot, a nice guy opened his door into the front quarter panel of my 68 mustang gt, and knocked off a thumbnail-size paint chip, down to the metal.
the car was originally "presidential blue" according to marti, but i have no idea if the PO painted it some other blue or what.
anyway, otherwise the paint on my car is not perfect, it's not a show car, but this particular chip is a real eyesore.
any suggestions on what i ought to do to fix it?
the whole car does not need a paint job, it's just got a few minor imperfections other than the one mentioned above.
i was hoping there would be some way i could repair the damage myself, as i doubt a paint shop would be willing to mess with a little paint chip area.
i now wish i had searched the ground for the paint chip, b/c if it had been intact i might have been able to use it in the repair... but i drove off without it unfortunately.
any advice would be appreciated.
