Default Stone Chips

Has any one used one of the firms that just touch up the stone chip rather than spray the whole panel ??

Or should i just bite the bullet and get the bumper and bonnet resprayed ??

Silverstone may be harder to match than one of the solid colours, but it shows the chips less.

I would be interested in how much you pay for this work and what solution you decide to go for, keep us updated please.

IIRC Chris (Tifosi what ever) used one of these 'spot paint' folk on his silverstone - goood match - but then applied some isopropanol(sp.?) for some reason - and took the new paint off. Finished up by having bonnet resprayed - perfick match.
Pays your money - takes yr choice. Bear in mind that within 100 miles on our sh&&&y roads it will be pitted again

Chipsaway currently trying to rectify trolley gouges on my rear bumper. Match is a little light but they're coming back after Chrimbo to put it right.
