Car stone chips

MWMan · 13th March 2016, 04:52

My car is now 15 years old and considering its age and mileage, the paintwork's not too bad. However there are a significant number of chips around and it would be nice to get the car looking a bit better.

Has anyone used this product? http://www.chipex.co.uk/?gclid=CjwKE...XtNhoCSMrw_wcB

It looks good, but I'm wondering 1. If the colour match isn't great, it will look like its got measles. 2. If the colour match is OK but it doesn't blend into the rest of the paint - it will look like its got smudged measles.

Has any one tried it?

I was told by a third party that you cannot tell after you've used chipex.

Thanks V man, at least that's some feedback. I was hoping a few members on the forum had tried it with positive results. I don't mind spending the money on it, I just don't want to make a mess of my car.

If you've not read it already there is a good sticky thread here - http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=27399 - that shows a method of dealing with stone chips.

You could use the above method with something like http://www.paints4u.com/ProductDetai...productID=6912. Note they do have a store on the bay too.
