Tuxedo Black paint Closeup with Paint Chip

[WowTechnologies]

I just discovered my first paint chip on my brand new truck. My wife had to come outside to check out who I was fixing to pistol whip because of the F bombs I was dropping. The only cool thing about this whole deal was the picture I took of the "blemish" on my Raptor was the embedded multi-color pigments.

The two white spots are the paint chips...zoom in to see the purple, green, red and who the hell knows what the other colors I can't spell in the paint scheme of Tuxedo Black 2014 SE

This is what the truck looks like from about 10 feet, the chip is right below the "R" of the Raptor Graphics

Stupid question, other than the cool visual of the multi-colored black paint, is a paint chip worth fixing or should I just say F it?

F it if your going to drive it in dirt. Mud flaps on the front will help significantly with chips. I also find often times fixing a small chip will make it stand out much more.

I fixed a couple with the OEM touch up paint. Looks better.

About to do the same. I will update when done.

Drive it off road, leave it dirty, wash every six weeks, then you will only be upset about it around 9 times a year

You'll get over it soon enough. This isn't a vehicle you fuss about paint chips or scratches.

The Dr. ColorChip system works very well and is what I'd recommend. It often performs much better and yields better results than the pen/brush bottles that you will typically get from dealerships or auto parts stores.

Fixing chips is a good idea, even if you like to bury it in the mud and treat it like a truck. A chip is the easiest place for corrosion to start, and chips always grow, they never shrink.

They are great used to use Dr. Colorchip on my vette.
