HI ALL

What is the best way to deal with stone chips in the paint work that are oxidising?

THANKS
PAUL

Touch 'em up with a fine brush, after using rust convertor and a good rinse. :)

if ur not great with paint, get some mixed to your panel (that way u account for any fading), dab a bit on the chip till it is above paint level then let dry. sand back with VERY fine sandpaper then polish. u wont be able to find where the chip was.

i can see why some use Car Bras.

Is that what they are for????
I use my carbra to stop my Guards form sagging...
Lift and seperate.....
:P:P:P

But yes.... i think i was quoted about $350 for a bra for the type 3..
So i think its well worth the money...
