JamesJones Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I was just wondering what is the best way to cover up small stone chips on the paintwork ?Would a normal touch up pen work ? Cheers, James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLO7LXJ Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 It depends were on the car they are and how big? I had 4 on my bumper £100 to fix, I got a bumper protector for about £35.Also reflex silver is very difficult to match Halfords paint is not grate.

FLO7LXJ Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Yer Halfords Tornado red is good.I would try t-cut scratch remover. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_380905_langId_-1_categoryId_165527It works very well on scratches and some small chips it masks them so you don't notice them even when your polishing your car (that is normally when you find imperfections).Have fun good luck.J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
