You can get a kit made up by Dr Colourchip (sp). They're easy to use but must admit when I used one I wasn't that impressed with the colour match. As your car is newer than the one I used it on though it may be better. Cost is around £50.

I've seen the work of some of these chipsaway franchises when working on some expensive kit, Lambo etc and personally I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. Just my opinion.

Stone chips are like death and taxes, your always gonna get them. Get a proper detail and a dent man in and just enjoy the car as you bought it.

Il back you on this one, seen many of these so called profesional smart repair people, but their just utter crap!

Dan..You need to get your car to a paint shop ie morelli's(Enfield a10) or car colour(romford), they'l match the colour of your car, clean all the chips and scratches with prep wipes, touch it in with a brush so the new paint sits higher than the original paint,(allow to dry) rub it down with 1500 wet n dry, nice bit of compound/t cut bobs your uncle! costs alot less too

i'm with matt, smart repairs are only ok if your trying to sell a car, we have to sort thier screw ups out at work, the paint is so p155y thin it has no build to it and the blow in's are always dry and flat, like most have said see if the dents can be teased out and give it a good clean and theres nothing more annoying than keep seeing new chips appear in your freshly painted bonnet
