Ventureshield is the way forward - it's a lot less visible than stone chips. Not a single mark on my weekend/track toy S and the Merc I was chasing at Llandow a couple of weeks ago peppered the front with gravel and rubber a good few times.
Respray then shield imo - especially if you like your trackdays and/or B road road blasting.

I've recently bought some Dr Colorchip for some small stone chips & road rash. I've used it twice on small parts of the car and am reasonably impressed.
The stone chips need a couple of over fills (of which I have done one coat up to now).

That's what i've ordered and it's a lot cheaper than a respray or Ventureshield (unless you fancy fitting it yourself like Shopman).

I wouldn't respray personally Mikey.
Rightly or wrongly, I wouldn't buy a car which has had a respray. Makes me suspicious!

shopman did not fit it over his bumper, it is a two man job and will take several hours in a clean environent.
If you have road rash get the front resprayed and fit some ventureshield. If its odds and sods the dr colour followed by flattening it off and polishing.

To be honest unless a car is a garage queen then the 3 foot test is how to view your car, if it looks great from that distance then to me it's fine.
I have an Amuse R 1 bumper to go on so maybe I should spray that and venture shield it. How easy is it to remove venture shield?
I guess the rest is just touching in and flattening off.
If I do that in an unheated garage over the winter is it going to take stupid time for the touch up paint to set?

How would you know unless he told you?
Comes with buying and selling cars so frequently - I can't afford to buy dodgy stuff so I got someone in the know to teach me what to look for. It has to be an extremely good one not to be noticable.
