Hi Folks


I have some minor stone chips on my Y reg Cooper (Solar Red) so what is the best way to treat these? one is starting to brown so I want to nip any rust in the bud. I was thinking of a touch up stick but where do I get one? And what should I do before i tousch the spots up 9assuming I can get a touch up stick!)

Thanks in advance of any replies.

halfords should have some, failing that, just pop to a body shop and ask them to mix you up a spot. Just touch them in as soon as they appear, and if there is any rust, treat it with a dab of rust eater before hand, allowing it time to act. you won't get rid of any rust completely once it's started, the only thing you can do is to get it professsionally removed and respray the area.
