About this deal

Use car paint chip repair kits on painted surfaces only. For repairing damage to your wheels, seek out a specifically designed wheel repair kit that matches the wheels on your vehicle. Though they must be equally durable, car paints differ greatly from wheel paints. Clean the paint stone chips and surrounding area thoroughly. Make sure that you remove any sealant, wax or polish from the chip area. You can use a bit of the Blending Solution for this job.

riving with a small stone chip in your car’s windscreen should not cause undue safety concerns. In theory, a chip could spread rapidly and shatter your windscreen, but in reality windscreen experts Auto Glass say this is an incredibly unlikely scenario. The laminated design of modern car windscreen glass – windscreens are typically constructed from two layers of glass sandwiched either side of a sheet of vinyl – is incredibly resilient. A full panel respray can be quite expensive if it’s just one or two little stone chips in a localised area but a good professional bodyshop should be able to offer a localised SMART repair for stone chips and will use colour-matching technology to mix the correct paint tone to match your car. This localised repair method involves repainting only the damaged area, making the repair faster and much cheaper. Speedy and time-saving, this chip repair product features everything you need to cover chips and protect your vehicle once again. It offers a variety of paint colors to choose from so you can achieve a close, if not flawless, finish. In addition to the paint itself, you’ll also get Bondo Glazing and Spot Putty, Bondo Spreader, and two grit levels of 3M sandpaper (180 and 320 grits). There’s no mixing required; once you prime the area and apply the paint, you’ll be finished. And there’s enough product to cover 80 square inches of surface area too. There is a downside, of course, which is that the warranty on screen repairs is virtually non-existent, and if it doesn’t work you could still be in line for a windscreen replacement. If you’re not covered on insurance, or have a big windscreen excess, this is the risk you take. Don’t expect your repairer to do anything other than point to their disclaimer. DIY windscreen repair kits For even less outlay, there are several DIY options, ranging from pastes to full primer and paint repairs. But are they a false economy? We put eight to the test to find out.You can find a windscreen repairer online, but you’re just as likely to find somebody offering insurer-approved repairs in the car park while you shop at your local superstore. Best of all, you generally only have to give the repairer your insurance company details, and they'll invoice the insurer direct on your behalf. The most effective cure is a bodyshop respray. Yet this is an expensive option, and can cost several hundred pounds. If you are unable to stretch that far, mobile SMART (Small and Medium Area Repair Techniques) operators do an excellent job on a wide variety of scuffs, dings and dents.

Many drivers have one of these Halfords kits in their garage or shed, either for a long-gone old car or something they still own. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you will be able to find the right shade for your car, especially if your model is new, old, or a rare shade. Perhaps understandably, Halfords only caters for a narrow selection of colours on the best-selling cars. It’s not possible to avoid ever getting stone chips in your paintwork but you can take preventative measures to reduce the risk and protect the paintwork by using a paint protection film like a clear vinyl wrapping. The vinyl wrapping will add an extra layer of protection and is a popular choice for prestige vehicles and those with custom paint that they want to protect – but it’s available to anyone wanting to protect their paintwork. Clean the area with soap and water, then rub down with alcohol or white spirit. This step is vital to remove grease and give the paint a good surface to adhere to. Allow the area to dry.The ChipEx Paint Repair System allows the simple and safe repair of paint chips, scratches and 'road rash' without the need for the costly intervention of a body shop. Every ChipEx paint kit is hand made to the manufacturer's colour formulation for an exact colour match. Stone chips are a common feature in car paintwork, usually on the bonnet. They create small, deep and very localised damage in the paint. Halfords product also offered extra tools and paints, along with two types of applicator for different sizes of damage. But overall we found the sheer value of the Hycote and M.A.D difficult to argue with. We went with the Hycote simply because it was easier to use, but for bigger damage the M.A.D makes more sense.
