stone chips

[cerbylondon]

Hi all. I have a number of stone chips on the front of the car. Wondered if anyone had any ideas other than a new paint job. I do not know what the correct colour term is but its a dark metalic blue, cheers guys.

My car wears them as a badge of honour

I used to get mine done now & then.

However, you spend a few quid, drive home & find you've got another one.

A few people use armourfend (Thin bubble wrap ), but IMO, I think it looks a mess.

I've had A bonnet spray, which is quite cheap, as they take it off, and don't have to mess about with masking. You'd be surprised how affective it is, as your eye is normally drawn to the bonnet chips & not the lower ones.

Russ, I actually considered looking into getting one of the carbon fibre bonnets that appeared on PH a while back and fitting it unpainted. Thought the black/CF against the yellow would look cool?

I like the idea of a bonnet only respray too. Rough cost?

Ewelme did it Fubes. I seem to recall getting a quote of about £200 & they did a cracking job.

I subsequently took the Purple car in for a polish & got charged about £350 ....My own fault for not asking for a quote.

I'd still recommend them, just get a quote first


I'm not sure about the Black bonnet...... However, at least if you try it first, we can all rip the pi55 out of ya

£350?

I think I'll go down Halfwits for a can of yellow aerosol

Tell me about it, I'd took £300 out of the cashpoint, thinking I'd piss it, and ended up asking my dad to lend me some dough

Worth giving them a shout on the bonnet job though.

Might be worth speaking to BT, should have lots of paint left since they changed their vehicle colours to grey........buzby yellow, suit you fubes!
