Cheers, do you find the bonnet chips really easy? Quite a few marks on mine when the sun shines. I try to keep on top of it and deal with most obvious ones with chipex
Yeah, I've had some issues with stone chips, etc. One of the home visit repairers, who did a few jobs on my previous 'J', gave me a tip. He told me, instead of trying to use the brush that comes with the touch-up paint, simply roll up a piece of masking tape, so that it looks something like a tooth pick, dip that in the paint and fill the chip in that way. It works a treat!
I took out cosmetic insurance when I bought the car and a company called 'Flying Colours' now does the repairs. I don't usually bother with very minor damage, but they've done some magnificent work on other, larger blemishes that I've sustained on occasions. The policy doesn't cover the bi-colour alloys, sadly. However, the same company will do a home visit repair on those too, unless the damage is really bad.
All in all pretty impressive!
