Hi Everyone.

Can anyone tell me if you can. As I'm currently laid up with a broken leg so driving's a bit awkward. The best place or firm (ie a chips away type firm) small stone chips and the tiniest of scratches can be touched up on a Crystal Topaz pearl paint without costing me an arm and a leg. I'm on the Notts / Derby border by the way.
Thanks.

I need to echo Eddie's comment - I went for a similar chip scheme and it did look better but didn't look right.

The car was painted two months later, so it did cost two arms and legs, for two jobs!

Horses for courses.

Crystal Topaz is a specialist colour that needs to be done right but I would imagine that a Chipsaway repair would work for the majority of factory colours.
