Anyone used chipex? From what I've seen online it looks good, but i was hoping one of you guys made have had experience of this product. I've got loads of stone chips over the front of my car, want to get it sorted but cant afford to get a respray.

Doesn't look too bad. I think I know one of the companies that did a testimonial as well!

May have to get some for the GT...... 8)

If you work out the cost, plus the cost of your time...


for me, it's cheaper to get it painted, and I end up with a better job at the end of it ;)

I would get it painted but i would have to have bonnet and both front wings done. I would imagine that would cost a fortune?

Depends how far back you need the wings painted, best to blend onto the wings anyway, so you don't have panel to panel shade difference, so you might get the wings sorted for very little extra ;)

Looking at £150 - £200. I would spend 4 or 5 hours flatting and polishing touch up repairs, and it would never look as good. I'd rather earn from the same time on another car, and then spend an extra £25 and have a fresh paint job :)
