Halfords Paint Chip Set
Does anyone have any experience with this kit? I just bought the knight hawk black for my Honda as I have a few chips and scratches to get rid of. I find the instructions quite vague especially the part about "leaving" the paint for 24 hours. Does this mean I can't drive my car and cover it from rain for 24 hours?
