Stone chips on bonnet - touch up questions

Postby langdang » Thu Apr 08, 2010 10:02 pm

Paging Dr Owen!
Just wondering - where is the best place to get a little kit to touch up stone chips? Roughly how mucho?
Black 02 Cooper, someone probably knows the paint name/code off the top of their head, but just for my own reference - where do I find the code?

Any tips? Other than a toothpick, a steady hand and some patience? Any special way to wash it down before hand?

It's not really possible to touch up stone chips, you can paint them in, but the crater that's caused by the stone impact will always be there. You just need a bit of paint and a toothpick to touch it up. I'm happy to help you out someday if you want.
