No, I am not nuts!
Finally got pissed off the with wee stone chips on the front of my bonnet and trying to save money so no trip to chips r us at the moment.
Anyway, Touched up the stonechips, let them dry properly, then carefully applied masking tape around the touchup, then got a small screwdriver and attached a small amount of wet'n'dry paper to the end and very carefully proceeded to rub away, after about 10 mins or so got it nice and level with the paintwork.
Next took a cloth with a small amount of rubbing compound and gently rubbed the area (Masking tape till applied) for a few mins, Removed masking tape and wiped off excess compound, next applied a small amount of Zymol wax and rubbed in, the polished off and voila! Stone chip? What stone chip?
going to be doing the rest of them next weekend!

My mate has some laquer stuff so might see if I can re-laquer the but i touched up. as far as the original laquer is concerned, thats why I put the masking tape right around the chip so I don't accidently take it off!
Seems to work quite well

next time you want to do this op... let me know.. we have some very small ultrafine pads for removing paint on polished surfaces at work,,, used for removing imperfections in the painted parts we make...
I will see you at the next meet at the far end if u know what i mean
