Yep, lets have a look, unless it's huge what is there to lose, try a touch-up & polish and if it looks naff then respray it.

Not the best pics, the camera struggled to focus on the shiny (ish) surface. . .







It may also need a dentmaster type fix as the wing is dented too

I would have thought Dentmaster/Chipsaway/Littleknocks would easily roller that out an do a touch-up at the same time (unless you want to attempt the touch-up yourself, obviously get the dent out first)

Before I splash out on a paints4u kit, is there a basic procedure for applying bog standard touch-up paint?

Don't like the look of that scary rust eraser that comes fixed to the cap of the Honda touch up pencil. Like the idea of using a tiny bit of wet or dry stuck to the end of a pencil but haven't tried it yet. Is it a feasible method for one not fastidious about detailing?

Thanks for the tip! I had a bit of an incident with the water hose at a Tesco's the other day and had a 10mm scratch through the basecoat on the front wing
