Anyone got any experience of "chipsaway"?
Or the various similar companys?
Due to travelling on a newly resurfaced road both front wings & bonnet have a fair few chips that need sorting but, given that the car is silver & probably the hardest colour to match, I'm debating a 3 panel respray.
Just wondered if they were worth a try?

It'll look vile after a few months!
Also wait until you come to sell the car as the same thing could happen in a few weeks and its more money wasted...0 -
I think a lot of it depends on the actual workman that does the job.
I had my front wing touched up by chipsaway years ago and it looks rubbish - I could have probably
done a better respray job myself (and that is saying something!!!)
but I had a friend who then went on to get a CA franchise, and the work I've seen him do looks
infinitely better than my job.
Friend now has a franchise for a different company as he didn't like the way that CA worked.
If your car is your pride and joy, I would consider getting a proper respray. If it's a day to day
runabout then try one of the cheaper alternatives.Why does nobody say Thank You anymore??:mad:Debt Free as of September 2011 :jSealed Pot 2009 number 334 - £100 Saved! yey!!Sealed Pot 2010 number 334 - £116.51 Saved! Yey!! YIPPEE!!0 -

It's deffo not a runabout
Although it's old (2000) it's been kept pristine & has a few "tweaks". I was already leaning to having the panels sprayed properly but it's being without the car for a few days...that's a major problem. Always try to be at least half the person your dog thinks you are!0 -
