Stone chips on red GTI

(1/3) > >>

crashdesk:
Tried posting this in the detailing section but it wouldn't allow me.

Considering buying a GTI with stone chips all over the bonnet. The chips go through to the undercoat but no further. Is it hard to colour match to a 2007 red GTI? How much would it cost to repair?

I live in Belfast, NI.

Any advice greatly appreciated. Going to view car again this evening.

Thanks,
C

i would say to have the bonnet and front wings resprayed you are looking at around £500. but be aware the paint will be soft after the car has been sprayed and will just come back (talking from experience)

So best to stay away from it then? No way to fill individual chips?

you can touch the chips up and flat them back yes. then get the bonnet mopped. wish thats the route i had gone down to be honest.

Okay, that sounds more like it. Any links which describe this in more detail? Is it something I can do myself?
