I fancy spending some time getting rid of some stone chips on my car. Can anyone please recommend a good company that can provide quality paint matching in the Leicester area?

just used chipsaway on chip on boot lid edge... result was ok, bit cloudy, but it is getting better with a few polishes.....
they charged me £110.00 +vat... that was for the chip on the boot, some very small surface scratches and a slight scuff on the wheel arch...
He was a bit dubios about TVR paint, and wasnt sure he would be able to match my colour without the code, but he found it in the end, he has a computer on his van with recipes for a lot of colours...
Any more info you need please ask.

Thanks for that, they are first on my list for price to solve some of the smaller chips on my car. I recently managed to scuff the whole of my 'bumper' in an NCP that had some nice concrete jutting out just where you can't see it. Was thinking of having a go at it myself, so wanted to know if anyone had experience of a firm that could supply paint to match. I heard that Halfords could supply custom mixed paint...but I'm always dubious about them! lol

having attempted to repair paint scratches etc on other cars in the past, ive come to the conclusion that it is best left to the experts... My efforts ended up looking worse than the scratch... but good luck.
