Stone Chips on Hood and Front

[mcg]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know of a reliable and decently priced shop that does stone chip repairs (not on windshield, but on body) - they are around ~2mm in size and I have a couple of them due to lots of highway driving and I guess sometimes following too closely to the car in front of me. I started my summer job in May and had to drive to Oshawa daily, and I guess the chips have started to accumulate.

There's around 4-5 2mm chips and numerous tiny "wear marks" on the paint.

Thanks for the help.

Try drcolorchip.com it worked well on my last car. After a couple days I also polished and waxed the fixed areas. If you know anyone with a good dual action polisher like the porter cable 7424xp try that as well.

Go to the thread I made awhile back that is all pics of detailed cars, click last page and you'll see the scratch I was able to fix from my Honda.

Could you please post a link to that thread?

Ah I see thanks, got the link to the thread?

Most likely it'll require a coat of paint on top, but need to fill the indent in the body too.

The car unfortunately has a two-tone color on the hood ('06 Cooper with white stripes)... and there are marks on both the body paint and the stripes. Gonna be a hassle..

Well ***** it, I just went ahead and did some research on Dr Color Chip, seems like it's a hit or miss with some colours. Seems like it's a good product though.

I think I'll take a picture of the damage tomorrow, some chips are pretty deep (ie. you can see a shallow gray "pit"), but I am sure a couple of coats of the kit will at least make it look better.

Buy a glass fibre prep pen from Canadian tire and clean the rust, then apply touch up paint. You can buy small bottles/pens with touch up paint also from Canadian tire, just look for your color code.
