I'll Grab My Coat Then...

So my new car has arrived at the dealership, I'm probably going to be picking it up on Thursday, I can't wait!

I've still got half a tank of fuel in my DS3, enough for one last road trip with my friends before I say goodbye to my trusty DS3!

Congrats Richard,you look very happy with your purchase!

Looks great, enjoy

Thanks guys.
Walking away from the DS3 was heartbreaking but I'm very very happy with my new car!

It's going to take a little getting used to though! The loud pedal for example was a lot more sensitive in my DS3 with the power being available with very little pressure on the pedal... Oh and shifting into neutral and not leaving my foot on the clutch to get the stop start to kick in!

Looks great, your salesman could do with a better suit though !

So after less than two weeks of owning the car I've already had someone scrape past it and ruin my paint! Turns out that nobody around here knows how to avoid parked cars, it happened in my DS3 too but that was a lot worse!!!

Anyway asking here because the other club is a bit rubbish, I've got a slight scratch and a small section where the paint has been completely removed from the plastic. I'm looking at something like chipex to get it fixed myself. Has anybody tried it or a similar product?

Sad times

I bought a Chipex kit for my red DS3, planning on touching up the stone chips on the front but I never got round to it.

Was good value and definitely cheaper than a respray, saw good results on another club members car (which prompted me to purchase). Apparently the trick is to use toothpicks and use as little paint as possible.

Edit: It wasn't Chipex, it was this kit, It was recommended to me by CliveP.

I have used it roe 2 pack touch up paint on mine.
You can notice it but it'd better than the black plastic underneath.
Mines belle ill blue so it's tricky to do well as beefmasta says use as little paint as possible and build it up.yours might not be as noticeable due to your colour.

Thanks guys! I bought a ChipEx pack last night, I'm just waiting for it to arrive. It was a bit more expensive but the kit should last the next 4 years!

I'll post my results when it arrives!

Personally I would use the paint when it arrives to fill the hole then once it's had time to settle go over the hole area with white t-cut which should blend the blemishes around it in.
