Hi,
I had a small stone chip on my bonnet which I hadn't got around to touching up.
Whilst washing the car with one of these roadside pressure washers the other day , the stream must have found a loose edge on the lacquer coat (the chip has taken off the lacquer & colour, but not the primer ) & has lifted a patch slightly larger than 2x 50p pieces in size.
It isn't too noticeable except from certain angles, but, of course I know it is there, so see it every time.
Seems a bit big to touch up (particularly with the tiny brush supplied on Porsche touch-up kits) is there any alternative short of a full bonnet respray? Would masking off the area around the patch & using a commercially available clear lacquer aerosol look okay, or would it just make a not too obvious blemish really stand out ?
I'll get used to it, and don't feel inclined at the moment to incur the cost of respraying the bonnet, but if there is something else I can try I will give it a go. Colour is Seal Grey.
Cheers :thumb:
