Cleaned the Griff with Zymol yesterday which I have to say works a flippin treat! Only problem being that the stone chips now stick out more than ever, so much so that I'm considering a full front end respray sometime soon but have no idea how much it's likely to cost so was wondering who on here has had one done?

The car's imperial blue so the chips really are noticable and I don't know if something like the chips away service will get rid of them so I'd appreciate a bit of advice!

Many thanks - Chris

£6/700 at Team Proactive which after reading 'armourfend or not to armourfend' could be a tad on the pricey side!

Hi
my griff goes in to have its nose ,bonnet and various marks removed plus new headlight covers fitted, all this due mainly to stone chips, oh and both wing mirrors.
I bought the paint , lacquer, thinners and hardner myself for a cost of 300 pounds 2 litres of paint and 2 ltrs of lacquer, 5 ltrs of thinners and 1 ltr of hardner.
The job itself will cost 700 pounds so a total of 1000 pounds.
acrylics of churchtown in the northwest.
getting hold of the correct paint is not so easy as TVR don't do t anymore
I hope its all worth it , Ill let you know
regards Simon
