I'd like to put something on the few stone chips I have on my GP white Carrera 3.2 - there are very few, and they are mostly small, but I thought that it would be better for them to be covered.

Can anyone here recommend a product? one that also matches the GP white well? Are these things difficult to apply?

Many thanks

If you take your paint code along to the parts desk at Halfords, they will mix a small touch-up bottle of matching paint with a small brush applicator. You'll need your code as I believe there are different mixes of GP White. In the past I have found the colour match to be very good.

P.S. I have no affiliation with, and I definately don't work at, Halfords.

When you've got the paint, DON'T apply it with the brush that comes with it.

Get a tiny artists brush (2 quid) or a sharpened cocktail stick and apply the tiniest amount of piant into the chip that you can. It's better to put too little in and do another coat the next day than blob a huge amount in one go. Have plenty of tissues to wipe it off straight away if you make a mess

And you can cut an artists brush down to just a couple of bristles if you need to be really delicate with the paint yes
