Hi

Hi if a stonechip has gone all the way through to the bare metal, what is the best way to get it repaired the chip is about 2mm by 2mm very small and cant be noticed very well. but Im worried about the metal is not protected now, but does not warrent a pannel spray,

The car is a sprint blue B7 RS4, thanks

They don't make the little touch-up kits for Sprint for some reason, so buy this:

Spray onto somat to collect the paint then touch in with a fine-tipped paint brush. Finally, lacquer over & wax to finish.

i may be able to help you out as i am in touch with a massive manufacturer of ceramic sealant and they are ready to unleash a touch up kit with each individual manufacturer colour...the kit also includes a small amount of ceramic to protect what you need to....i will keep you updated....

Good tip for you all. The best place to get a decent brush for doing touch ups is either a model Shop like model zone or an artists supplies Shop. Normally they have very fine tips but nice thick handles so you can keep a steady hand when using them

Plain old wooden toothpick is the best I found on a few of my older cars, brushes hold to much paint in my experience.

I use a power washer nozzle cleaner, dip in paint, hold in chip and let paint run down into chip. Let dry then, buff flat with a bit of polish.

+1. Got this trick from Amar, he did a write up after doing his S8.
