Who are the best people to deal with small stone chips in a bonnet?

How do they go with matching precisley the colour etc?

What have been the experiences of everyone?

cost?

No good body shop that i have been to , will claim to get a good result from fixing chips with half measures , especially mettalics , its a proper paint job i afraid , chips away will say they will sort it  but it will never be pucker especially if there doing it on your drive

this is the problem - do you mean the whole panel?

do you have any recommendations for this sort of work?

meridian wont repair the chips - dont know how bad they are.

and wont do the splitter either - dont know what might be involved in that.

If you were to Ring Emblem , they would recommend Ross Packard , believe he is reasonably close to Emblem/Meridian,   Conaero and Malc H  have both had work done by them with Excellent results , believe Matt (conaero) had a part blend on his bonnet  so you maybe in luck , if anyone can do it Ross will  

The whole panel yes , the only real way ,   patching and blending can be done  not always easy with metalics tho  , ive just had my whole rear quarter panel resprayed  due to a fine scratch which was through the laquer and minisculey into the paint , tried polishing it out but we weren't happy with it  so hence the whole panel   take a look at   there's some pics  under Loz's gransport  cont

regards loz

thanks loz.

I have had a look at your project photos - a labour of love mate.

I am very tempted to go for the MC V - but I have just agreed terms on a house - and they are not keen to budge on price - they are giving a full warranty after the new car one expires in aug - they claim its 1900 to them.

great car - but not cheap.
