Keith & Sarah,
Thank you for the positive comments on last years No Rally Rally.  Planning has already started for the 2020 No Rally Rally.  Details will be posted in early December.

Food for thought: one seminar I'd like to see is how to properly apply touch-up paint to small chips, etc. so they don't look like a big old blister.

Forest,
Try using these.  You will be very pleased and have enough for ever.  Comes in four sizes.

Thanks Steve, didn't know these existed.

I am not smart enough to cut and paste a link on the iPad. 

But in addition to Steve’s solution, take a look at “curved tip dental irrigation syringes” on amazon. I buy them by the box. 

Prep the area by cleaning the chip with lacquer thinner and a toothbrush. 

Put the touch up paint in the syringe. Put the flat tip of the syringe in the chip and very carefully dispense the paint. Use the flat tip to work around the chip edge. Cover the chip, but don’t try to fill in the hole flush with the rest of the paint. Let it dry for a couple of hours, and come back with clear coat in a syringe to fill it in flush. 

If you have to clean up any excess paint, use denatured alcohol on a lint free rag. Denatured alcohol will not make a runny mess like lacquer thinner or other automotive paint reducers. 

Good visibility and steady hands are keys to success.

Good ideas Richard. Where do you buy the clear coat in small quantities or do you use clear nail polish?

Richard, most seem to be 12 cc. Is that the size you use?

If so, here is the search link: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=curved+tip+dental+irrigation+syringes&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

RE: No Rally, Rally - Richard - 11-23-2019

Yeah that is the size. But you only draw a small amount into the tip. Hold it upright so gravity keeps the paint in the tip.

I have all kinds of clear coat from painting things. It’s hard to mix the clear and catalyst in small quantities so I always end up throwing more away than I use.

RE: No Rally, Rally - DK on the road - 11-25-2019

I second Keith's comments about the No Rally, Rally. For all that may be on the fence about going, GO, you won't be disappointed, great time.

I am looking forward to Steve's information about the next get together. I hope we are be able to attend.
