i seem to have collected quite a few stone chips, the paint doesn't seem all that thick, i've only done 14k in mine, and even got them on rear quarter panels! can't you just have them touched up?

I've recently been getting quotes for a bonnet respray because of stone chips. It's expensive because I have mica paint so the tops of the front wings need to be blended. Best quote so far is £300 but the company were more mobile patch up repair oriented so I'd have to pay more like £400 for a place I trust. That price is just bonnet and tops of front wings, not the front bumper
