You can buy paint pens from your dealer, not the cheapest but they do seem to match better than helfrauds and aftermarket ones. I got one for mine the other day.

Are you sliding the pens down the side of your A-frame?!  :wink:

My little silver lady had got 3 stone chips on the bonnet already in just under a month... Bl**dy holes in the roads around my way are still a joke.. I've always been paranoid about touch up pens as they can make the bonnet look worse than leaving the stone chips sometimes. Reckon I'll have to do something though- urgh !!

I was going to make a bad joke about removing the chips from your bonnet as soon as possible - otherwise you'll end up with seagull footprints all over your bonnet...
But its too lame, so I won't bother  :wink:
