the tire pulled the wheel well out i tried with the hard handle of a bat with a shop rag. bent up a little then split the god damn paint wasnt even doing it fast i just did it in the cold which i now realize how bad of an idea it was. the paint was chipping when it was rolled out but i just made it worse.

I'm guessing you have to try to rub off the paint chips and then apply touch up paint before the chipping spreads

at least most of that is tucked in the fender so you cant see it



mike go out now...buy rust stopper and apply it to the exposed paint...let it dry...follow with touch up paint
