Massive front clam chips, advice

[ajg31]

Okay i know a few people in the trade, but asking your good selves. What lengths to other noblility go to to remove chips? i have some REALLY nasty ones now, one is an inch long and way into the gel coat Love to do the whole clam, but i think that will be too expensive for my wallet ATM. Chips away style repairs range from shocking to passable round here. Its a Tit silver, which looks a bit tricky to me to touch up? Thanks

Respray and armourfend is my advice.
Mine was re-sprayed (Titanium) before I took delivery of it at Christmas and now it's looking decidedly peppered with chips.
The last owner paid £400.00 for the front clam re-paint and it was a real nice job.

£400 sounds pretty cheap F.C. Any idea who was used? There is not one Bodyshop, including my mates, that i would use! Is the original colour in the gel coat? Already contacted Armourfend. Would definately go this route if i did respray. Blinking expensive, but worth it if it really does work

Steer clear of Chips Away for Silver metallic - it will only accentuate the damage! Put your luca towards a respray.

Don't know about original colour but the re-spray was indistinguishable from the original in any light!
I didn't even know it was a re-spray until I had bought the car and contacted the original owner. (should have realised as no stone damage).
I will try and find out where mine was done.
