Anyone know of a product that hides stone chips? I have been told there is something on the market you can buy to your exact paint code that "fills" stone chips....
If not, anyone know of any other products? I really cant afford £600 for a front end at the moment!

Get the same paint as your car and paint in the chips with a cocktail stick, takes ages but works.

I dont know why they dont put food colouring in the primer, then they wouldnt show up as much...

Touch up paint? you should be able to get from Webbs Auto's Bristol.

Give em your paint code and your card number and they will pop it in the post, normally takes a couple of days.

I reckon this is the stuff you are hinting at :- www.langka.com/

Do a search on the stuff in the forums, I know some have used it with great results.

try www.chipsaway.com - they'll come round and quote you for free. i had them around for some chips and some scratches. you can see a faint trace of one of the scracthes ( it was quite nasty ), but the chips are much better.
seemed quite cheap to me too ( 140 quid, 3 scratches and various stone chips done )
