I have collected a nasty stone chip on the front of the car. Are there any recommended mobile repairers in Bucks or is it best to go to a body repair shop? scratchchin

Starmist green, Tuscan.

That has quite a lot of coarse metallic flake in it, so a flatted-back built up touch-in isn't possible. Your options will be a simple touch-in, or a sprayed-paint repair, and on a Tuscan, that really means a front clam respray - fading out the clearcoat on a large horizontal panel, particularly a dark colour, isn't likely to leave a finish that will satisfy an enthusiast.

Thanks for the advice, I thought it maybe involved. I will get a professional quote.
