Default touch up

I assume Honda can supply me with a GPW touch up stick??? I need to get a small stone chip on bonnet sorted.

Any idea on price for a 'pen' or whatever they do? Is a honda one the best bet or anyone had better experience with Halfords etc?

Its a tiny chip, so will prob just put a 'blob' on it....

any tips / advice?

When you go to do it place the touch up stick somewhere war, for a while and shake well, don't use the supplied brush a cocktail stick lets you apply very small amounts at a time, don't be tempted to do it all in one go, a spot little on and let it dry and then repeat as required.

LOL!

Reminds me when we hired a van through work and one of our chaps scraped the side a little and we were all out in the car park with our tipex! They never noticed.

I tipexed my wifes old 106...some scraot broke into it and nicked her stereo etc, it was commonly known amongst the scroats that a simple screwdriver puncture behind the lock barrel would release the lock and left minimal damage, to the extent where we didnlt even see if the night it happened, i got a rollocking for leaving the door unlocked...

we saw the hole in the morning....a bit of blue tack and tipex and was a good as new.

£4.44 from Honda, so ordered today - although annoyingly it is illegal to post it as is a hazardous substance so have to go and collect...
