Messed up paint chip repair.

The repairs I've done are plain to see.

Shall I take them off and start again?

Or is there another solution?

    you'll make it worse. you should leave paint chip repair to the pros, if you attempted it and failed then not even a pro can fix it. It will have to be sanded down and repainted.

    How did you do the repair?
    I simply get a can of matching spray paint; spray some into a lid, dab it in the chip with a fine brush. Works well for me, quick and easy. Depends how critical and perfectionist you are though.

    Nothing major, it's just noticeable.

    Pretty sure it would buffer out to be honest.

    You can just notice the bubbles/patch of paint.

    wish you wouldnt comment with such dribble.

    ofcourse chips can be repainted painted no matter how bad even a "pro" can do it exposed acrylic touchups can be metled away with thinners.

    its created a bubble because there is too much piant applied, if youve no experience in colour sanding etc then i'd just leave it be you could make it worse rather than better.
