Ok I will do it tomorrow I will get this brush from hobbycraft and then I will follow instructions from that halfords kit

Hopefully I can manage it ! 🤛 Should I peel off that paint that is around the chip?? There. Are like kind of small air bubbles around the chip?

Some marks there matey :sad: Don't try and peel the paint off as you'll only make matters worse.

Remove the impacted lifted paint by the use of a craft knife - scalpel type knife will slice out the bad stuff.

Yeah I will go to bodyshop and ask them what can they do if its around that area I will deffo give it to some professionals rather than me making it worse  hopefully wont be that expenssive as I called one chip company they wanted £125+vat

thats it mate just go in there and chat them up by asking for there help and make it clear that you know its not a £125+vat job its a job that if the cars left with them for 1 or 2 days for them to work on inbetween jobs would they be able to treat you fairly and do a cash job

Look at it this way if it's looks crap at least it's sealed from weather and u can always go body shop after u can't loose really
