Best way to cover salt chips on car?

Daff_Duck · 8 Mar 2012 at 14:38

I have been given some touch up paint from the dealer I bought the car from, whilst it is not serious I wondered if applying the paint (which has been colour matched) is the way forward or applying another type of application?

Would it be worthwhile to get someone professional in to cover the various marks ie "Chips Away"? As I said they are not too visible but in some cases go down to the grey undercoat.

If you hadn't, some daft **** like I would have....

With the numerous chips on my somewhat pebbledashed beastie, I clean the chip with a brush, apply the touch up and then wash & wax & polish.

If thats what you mean??

I would try the touch up paint on a bit that is out of the way. Failing that I'd wait until it's really bad and give it to a bodyshop.

Salt + vinegar + curry sauce! Gravy is for roast dinner.

I concede, gravy is good with KFC, as per below. Can you list what else you eat it with?

I don't know why anyone would have anything else, such as baked beans with KFC.

There is probably more but I'm struggling now.

All this talk of covering chips and not a mention of curry sauce in sight?

Well the Beans are good, BBQ flavour.

The gravy reigns supreme though, not the 1 step mind, that is 2 sweet, the 3 step is made from the breading crackling that is strained from the fryers.
