Get yourself a MAC # 10 pin striping brush.........untra fine and works excellent. The key is not to over fill the chips and keep the touch up clean!

I'm normally pretty good, but I can't for the life of me pin-point that location on an XJS.

Bottom of door and wing/sill perhaps??? The only place with 3 gaps. But even then the joints don't add up.

Got it, this is your fridge.

Good advice from Dave.
