I've got quite a few stonechips on my bonnet and on the front bumper, could I fix these with good results or should I just splash out on a proffesional job?
Its pearlescent indigo blue so would be hard to do?
also, where can I get the paint from? VW?
cheers

Personally i would make a list of where every stone chip/scratch/scuff and mark is on the car and take it to a bodyshop and get them to do it all at once not just the bonnet, and git it polished, its hard enough to spray and get it looking proffesional anyway without the right equipment + its not like halfords sell perlesant paint in an aerosol + the bonnet is such a large expanse and something you always see first get it done properly tbh mate
I used chips-away recently. On certain colours they can't fix the stone chips 100%. Mine is metalic silver and he said he could only get it up to 70% quality as the rest of the bodywork.
I used him anyways, it was pretty cheap and he did 10x better job than I could have, also got some nasty little scratches out.
Chips-Away are good, but at the end of the day they are patching stuff up and its difficult to fix a scratch on a panel without respraying the whole thing (which costs a bomb)
I reccomend using them, stone chips leave ur paintwork vunverable.
