Where to get paint for a couple of chips - tawse
Hi,

I had a stone bounce up on to the bonnet the other week and cause two tiny chips on my bonnet - one has gone in deepish though - and I think I need to get some paint to touch up the paintwork and seal it.

What is the best way to go about this? Should I get someone in to do it or is this something that I can do myself?

It really is 'need an airfix tin size of paint tin and probably a single hair artist brush' to simply touch this up. I just want to seal it more than anything.

If I go down the route of doing it myself where can I get the paint from - anyone know of places where I can order the specific paint?

Or am I going about this in the wrong way?


Thanks,


T.

Get a SMART repairer - Chipsaway are popular. Better in the long run, especially if highly visible places are damaged - don't want to spoil its good looks do you ?

Have you looked in the glovebox? There was a touch up kit supplied with mine so I assume it's standard.

Would think it would be easy enough to get a little bottle of touch up paint from a Honda dealer.

Having said that, it's a 4x4. Might look better with a few dings in it.....

When my Land Rover began to look too battle scarred I hand painted the whole thing orange.......I thought it looked jolly nice. I was a lot younger then mind.

Both of mine came with some touch in paint. Look in the 'glove' box as suggested and in the drawer under the passenger seat.
