Springtime - stone chip repairs!

[vantager]

Must say I'm pleased I dont have this road rash - mine is a 2008 with the additional 'shark in' plastic film, but I think the thing that must be saving me are the front mudflaps. Dont really like them, but rather them than road rash.

Very nice just petrolhead, hope I can get the same results!

Incidentally, I found the code in an earlier post on here (I think?!) and it still worked, so happy days - should be delivered tomorrow in time for the weekend spruce-up.

Boys, you're just being naughty now.

Peter has just edited his posting.

It's just not funny anymore.

Justice will be done.

Just.

Just kidding

Shame I missed this, would have ordered with the bigger discount for the sake of having it (don't need it right now).

When I was just about to wash my car tonight I found a scratch on the passenger door

Do you think that it would fix this, or is it too big?


Looks a lot worse on that picture, it is probably about 10-12mm long.

George - if you are talking about the Chipex kit then I guess it wouldn't hurt it to try.

After making sure the scratch was clean of any wax/residue etc I would suggest getting a layer on and leaving it to dry for a good 30 mins before doing the next stage.This will help the paint stay in the scratch. You would probably need to repeat this process a few times to get the depth of paint into the scratch.

For £50 (£37.50 if you got one when the deal was on)and your time it can't hurt given that if/when you get it done professionally it will cost £££ anyway. The cost of the kit is neither here nor there really compared to a professional job.

Good luck

Thanks I will give it a try at some point in the near future, as you said, for the sake of £40-£50 not worth taking it to get done professionally if it does work.

I need to read the forum more!...missed out on the group buy, although a quick "google" I found dec12 still works. So will get at sorting my Road Rash in the next weeks....
