I’m looking for help in learning how to:
1) Repair small chips in the fiberglass (there is no cracked glass)
2) Repair paint chips and scratches that are down to the glass.
3) Paint these repaired areas without repainting the entire car
I have roughly 50 of these chips and scratches.
This is a 1970 with original Donnybrooke Green. Is this color paint available? If so, is it possible to do some touch-up painting on these repaired areas and blend the paint in with the original paint? Is airbrushing the way to go with these small touch-up jobs? I’m going to sell this car so I don’t want to repaint it. If the repaired and painted areas don’t blend in well with the original paint, am I better off doing nothing?
Is there a book, DVD, internet site, etc. that would be a good beginner’s guide to these types of repairs?
OR - to get a more professionally looking job, should I have a Corvette body shop do these touch-ups for me?
Thanks.

A quarter size patch will be a pancake size blend. A real good paint job could bring a good selling price. If the car is in good shape with no past history of body repair you may want to leave it up to the new buyer. They may rather see the real deal before they think something may be hidden by the new paint. I myself would like it as is, but some want a turn key beauty. The estimate will tell you if the price is right......
Let us know how you make out, cause now we have to know
