Every vehicle no matter what age gets stone chips, they are an unavoidable problem. Generally stone chips are caused by day to day motorway and road driving by small objects like stones impacting on your vehicle.. The main areas where you would find stone chips are:

• Stone Chips on Car Bonnets
• Stone Chips on Car Wings
• Stone Chips on Bumpers

The only 100% way to repair a stone chip perfectly would be to respray that particular panel. This is sometimes not cost effective when the vehicle in question is pebble dashed with them. And once sprayed you could drive home and pick them up all over again. Car Body Repairs 4 Less offers 2 different alternatives to full body resprays:

• (1) Respray small localised areas (where stone chips are locatedalso known as a Smart Repair)

The price and repair time to respray small localised areas depends on the size of the panel. The price to touch-in the majority of the larger stone chips all around the car also varys depending on the severity of the stone chip and distribution of damage.
