Stone Chips!!!!!
Although my vette has low miles, there are 2 stone chips on the front of the car which have really been bothering me latley (black paint makes them more noticable). I do not want to touch them up as that generally results in a large globs, which are actually a worse eyesore.
I was flipping thru the Midamerica's catalog and they seem to have a fix for this problem. http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=1.139
I was just wondering if anyone has used this chip kit paint repair sytem. If so how did it come out... Any other suggestions would also be great. Thanks

Advance Auto has GM factory colors in touch up paint that have two applicators. One end has the small brush and the other end is like a roller pen tip. Works great on the very small chips & scratches. Believe it or not, I use my red Sharpie pen on some of my small scratches or chips. Matches my red paint very well and leaves no mess.

The Langka kit has gotten some good reviews here on the forum. GM also makes a chip repair kit - I've seen it advertised by Fichtner Chevy. May be worth a try.
