SSII colour change to...?
i just came back from 4k km eurotrip and repeated my mistake again after learning it with m3, i did not put clear bra on a car, as i did not have time and the only company i would have used has a long waiting list.
anyway now i have little stone chips across bonnet and 1 huge on a bumper, which piss me off and make me wanna cry, as the car was perfect without any single little dot on it before i left and i am a d**k when it comes to a detailing of my car so i think its too late to put clear bra and no point painting each panel for 500gbp, so i came up with an idea to wrap my car, including door shuts, so it doesnt look cheap my 3 options are: frozen blue - looks amazing, but there are already 30 M Performance cars like that in UK and more coming, after bmw made it individual colour for LCI model santorini blue (if i am not mistaken): http://www.approved.bmw.co.uk/_aucor...L_260613_7.jpg or http://s378.photobucket.com/user/aer...e0c28.jpg.html i love it, but my main problem is that its gonna be too tacky and every single jealous c**t police officer is gonna pull me over to do their stupid checks and waste my time, just because of a stand out colour (hope they are different for u in us) forzen silver (silverstone II) by wrapping it transparent matt what are your thoughts guys? was also thinking making it red chrome or black chrome, but comes to a price of a very nice set of rims, so stupid waste |

I would use a paint chip repair kit. Dr Color Chip makes them in the US. In the hands of a professional detailer, chips can be filled in flawlessly. Do this and then either apply a clearbra or a matte clear bra. I think the matte clearbra to create a frozen silver finish would look excellent.

They say its hard to fill the chip, but it makes it less noticeable by painting the chip to match the rest of the paint. You can in principle layer it through multiple applications to make the chip flatter too. Langka makes a different kit which actually fills the chip but I don't know anyone who has used it. You might find some reviews online.
