Suggestion
When there are many tiny chips,the literature refers to it as "road rash" rather than "chip repair." For your situation, a small plastic spreader is included and a larger amount of product is utilized.You need to specify that you have "road rash" to get the spreader.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Had my car machine polished, what a big mistake, the front bumper and bonnet are just peppered with tiny stone chips, and they start to fade just coming up onto the wings. anyone got any ideas to mask the problem to make it look better without going down the expensive route to have re-sprayed.

POST 2Original post

My black 03 looks like the front end has been blasted by pea gravel. I bought a wax that is black which fills in and hides the chips to some extent.

POST 3Original post

If you can find a USA produced paint touch up product named "Dr. Color chip" in the UK, I certainly recommend it.The cost is about 40 to 60 USD. The president of the company attended one of our large events and demonstrated the product on my car to the crowd.My car is Arctic Silver but it works very well on all colors. When there are many tiny chips,the literature refers to it as "road rash" rather than "chip repair." For your situation, a small plastic spreader is included and a larger amount of product is utilized.You need to specify that you have "road rash" to get the spreader. I bought 3 kits,one for each of my 3 different colored cars.Good luck!

POST 4Original post

Hey lite, Could you post up some before & after pics? I'd like to see what that product is capable of, as my DD Forester is all road rashed on the front bumper too and looks pretty ugly. Cheers!

POST 5Original post

I second Dr color chip. Used it on my seal gray car and it works very well. After use you need to give it 30 days to cure before using a machine cleaning method.

POST 7Original post

I just use a Sharpie to color in the chips on my car.

POST 8Original post

Boxster Steve-My camera is pitiful and Arctic Silver is one of those colors that require very up close shots to see the results-sorry.

POST 9Original post

I've used this product. Works well on small chips but it is difficult to fill larger chips.
