Re: Stone chip on bonnet
hi bro, what happened? travelled along a gravel filled road? I have 1 or 2 of those as well. Just use touch up paint with a tooth pick. Dun dab too much paint at once. dab a thin layer using the tooth pick each time until you are satisfied with the results.

Re: Stone chip on bonnet
Another alternative is to accumulate more chips then spray the whole thing.
By then, you may get used to it and live happily ever after. I'm serious!
First chip - heart pain.
By the time the chips look like constellation in the night sky, you call them war scars. :laughlik:

Re: Stone chip on bonnet
if stone chips usually occur towards front of car (front bonnet, front bumpers, lower spoiler areas, etc) and to minimise such occurrences in the future, instal a thin plastic film similar to the ones on the headlights cover.
had mine done at j4c when i got my new rides and its a very good job.
if you are doing the entire panel, you can hardly see the film. but, if you are doing partial panel, you will be able to see a very fine line where the plastic film ends.

Re: Stone chip on bonnet
you will have to check with j4c for your requirements.
but, just to do partial front bonnet, complete bumper, front lights will be upwards of SGD1k depending of body panel complexity, area to be covered, etc.

Re: Stone chip on bonnet
btw, before i forget, you could also tint or smoke your rear light clusters (instead of spray painting) and at the same time protect them from scratches from washing, polishing, buffing. that will be about SGD100 upwards.

Re: Stone chip on bonnet
i have also contemplated on repairing 2 stone chips courtesy of IR trucks along ECP however quite relectant as the factory coat is still better than those locally sprayed.

Re: Stone chip on bonnet
prevention better than cure.
sorry, do not intend to rub damage in the metal (i mean skin) which is why the protective film was installed when i first got the new rides.
if chips even after all the pro-activeness then, its considered ce'est la vie.

Re: Stone chip on bonnet
Back from Angie's workshop, takes 3 days, and cost $400/- for the job. Need to suction out the dent, smooth the surface before re-spraying the whole roof top. Plus there is another dent on the right side of my ride, also not sure when kanna.
If small dents and chips on the front bumper, can live with it, as not obvious.. but the top, very very obvious
