Exhaust and map done, now onto paint....

[JuicyV8]

Very happy with the monkfish sport pack, Wortec exhaust now giving much more growl than my old custom cat back. And now its mapped properly. Monkfish excellent customer service as per usual.

Now that I'm happy with the mechanicals, need to sort out stone chips etc. Car is quicksilver so before I venture to eBay to order some paint that says its quicksilver code 13U, anyone want to advise what to not get? Do I get the stuff that says I don't need lacquer...?

I've never used lacquer when doing stone chips unless they are big ones.

I can however recommend the Chipex kits, not cheap, but they are very good kits and the paint match is spot on.

Was just looking at the chipex site. Good to know. Need some for the purple ute.

Just bought the Chipex kit for mine not done repair yet as its crap weather for doing it.

I am hoping for a good repair that should save money on a respray of bonnet.

One word of caution - it is not a substitute for a respray - it does do a very good job, but will not cover huge areas - when you consider the cost differences it is not surprising. I've used it to cover a couple of large chips on my bonnet however up close you can still see them. It is of course far superior to any touch up pens from the OEMs of course.
