What a silly arse I am


There I was cleaning my PnJ, when i have the urge to pop the bonnet and yes you've probably guessed it, the spring loaded wiper blade from hell was still in it's upright setting, resulting in a nice chunk of paint being removed from said bonnet DOH!! FFS, Wayne, you dizzy little tart

Now i'm a bit loathed to have a profressional spray job because they cost money and being your stereotypical northerner I'm as tight as a knats arse Plus we have the issues of colour matching Silverstone as well

Any DIY repair techniques i should employee, or will it end up looking worse than it does now?? The chip is approx 1cm x 1/2cm and down to the primmer.


ONe good thing I'm 2 today

Happy birfdey to me happy birfday.........repeat to fade

You're not the first to post doing that!

I would have a go yourself first.

You need to build up thin coats of the Honda touch up paint, many many coats, to fill up the crater.

Try not to go over the surrounding paint.

Once the new paint dries slightly proud, flat it back very carefully with T-cut or similar on a soft cloth.

Then polish & wax.

It will not be invisible (because you'll be looking for it!), but it should be acceptable.

Cheers for that Nick, just needed the reassurance that everything will be alright
