Has anyone tried the above to repair minor stone chips? Their website has a video clip which looks pretty impressive.
My car's not even four months old and I already have about ten chips around the front end. Unavoidable, I know, and especially at this time of year but still a sad sight .
Any alternative suggestions also welcome - thanks all.

I've used a Chipex kit. I would say it's easier to use than a conventional touch-up paint but I didn't think that the results were any better. I certainly wasn't able to produce the practically invisible results they had on their website at the time. If you find the normal kits too fiddly, it's probably worth trying the Chipex.

Thanks for your help - I'm not expecting to completely hide the chips but I'd like to avoid the blobs you get with conventional touch-up brushes so I'll give it a try.

I was given a top tip a few years ago, which was to use a wooden tooth pick to drop a small amount of paint into the stone chip, let it settle and do the same again until it's filled. It's much better than using the supplied brush.

Good tip - thanks.

Yep I use the toothpick method too, helps avoid excessive paint transfer and allows you slowly build up the paint within the chip

Cocktail sticks work well too, and work out a darn sight cheaper than lots of little brushes and no cleaning them either

Looks like this is the way to go - thanks.
