Hi, all.
I've just noticed some stone-chip damage to the car's paintwork. It looks like it's gone down to bare metal, because there's signs of rusting. We're talking about spots less than 5mm across.
I've never tackled bodywork or paintwork before. What are the options for DIY or professional repair of such minor chips before they become more major?
The vehicle is a 2006 LR Discovery 3, plain black paint ( not metalic or anything fancy ).
I'm guessing I need to rub down the rust spot to clean metal, and 'feather' the rubbing-down into the good paintwork around it. Then do I use a primer, followed by paint? Or do you get single-application self-priming paint solutions? I'm guessing that a LR dealer will sell me touch-up pots of correct colour paint, is that right?
Or is there a stonechips-R-us service that will just do it for me much more betterer than I could?
