Zugara Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Chips away or a nissan touch up paint should work ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisS Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 If you get the touch up kit, use a cocktail stick to fill the chip with paint, a little at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I've got 1 myself about a foot in front of the windscreen - had chips away around and they said they'd just respray the whole bonnet (so much for their "unique ChipsAway system"), don't trust myself to do a good job with touch up paint - too much of a perfectionist and would end up sanding a hole through the bonnet knowing me. Not sure what I'm going to do either really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Do you mind me asking how much they quoted you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Don't worry Joss, before long it will be connect the stone chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Do you mind me asking how much they quoted you? I didn't even get a price - when he said he'd just respray the whole bonnet I let him walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotpot Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I tried Dr Colorchip and it was a right load of bollocks. I bought the roadrash kit and followed the directions and applied it to the plastic bumper on the front. It said smear it over with a lint free cloth but it looked like it made a right mess. I left it for five minutes and then used the Sealit provided to remove excess paint. When I finally removed the messy haze, it looked no different. Load of shite.
