Paint Chip Repair

[noonoo63]

Yes I have used it and yes it is okay but for the price there is definately not enough of the blending solution and you find you are left with loads of paint and polish but no solution. At around £50 it's dear but does a fair few chips before you run out of solution.

P.s. look at the video on the chipex website, couple of films on how to use the system

So, if you add an extra bottle of blending solution it's a good product?

My Leon has only done 3000 miles on relatively empty roads and already I have a few very small chips. In the past, if I have tried a paint stick it ends up looking worse!

Ease of use is the key factor - whatever system you use, it's gowing to be cheaper than a re-spray.

Yes I would say so. If you want a professional job then Chipsaway is another way to go, for about £100 they will remove chips I think on one panel. Best way is to go along to your local chipsaway or dents 8 guy and ask for a quote. I have used both in my local area, excellant job from both.

If it was me I'd see how well I could fix the chips with a £5 kit, if it didn't come out very well, I don't think I'd spend £50 on a touch up kit,by the time you factor in the £50 kit and a few hours time, I'd rather spend another 30 odd pounds and have it done properly
I had a badly stone chipped bonnet resprayed properly including a loan car for £100.
Was going to have chips away do it, they said £80 and as many chips or dents repaired on one whole panel for that amount

I've used chipsaway too for years and they've always done a great job. I get my cars seen to annually, and I've never paid more than £75 per panel no matter the extent of the damage. I had two large, deep scratches and numerous chips repaired on my front bumper only a couple of months back and you would never know it'd ever been touched. Sod messing about with paint sticks when the professionals do such a good job for such a reasonable cost!
