Well a few years ago i ordered a DR Colour chips Paint restoration kit, designed mainly for road rash and small chips etc

my 1st attempt on the car wasn't successful i was not impressed with what it did (may have not done it properly)

anyway was having a tidy up in the garage and found it so thought i may give it a chance to redeem itself before i threw it away

so anyway here are the pics before and after then a polish

Before

well once i had done the repair work i used poorboys black hole and covered the entire lip and worked into a haze then buffed off

followed by a dose of caranuba wax till it was also hazy then buffed off

gives it a great shine but i know the whole car needs a good session claybar and G220 attack

There's a shared carpark round the back of my house for about 5 cars, but with more than 2-3 cars round there I'll really pish off the neighbours :/
