Stone Chip Repair
Stone Chip Repair
Unfortunately stone chips are a common feature in bodywork, usually on the bonnet. Stone chips create small, deep and very localised damage in car paint. Car paint chips are the result of gravel and road debris flicked from the tyres of vehicles in front of you. Paint chips are more common to be a result of motorway driving. At high speeds, the little stones can leave a ding in your car paint.
Car Paint Chips
Stone chip damage can be made worse by winter weather, as salt-spreaders throw grit over the roads. Water and ice get into the chip and affect the metal underneath. It is impossible to avoid stone chip repair, but fixing stone chips is not as difficult as it may seem. Just like any other damage in your paintwork, it is important to repair the damage as soon as possible before it gets worse.
