Problem - several small (eighth of an inch square maximum) stone chips on the front of the car. It's dark blue, primer is white/light grey, so they show up. Solution - easy - touch-up paint. The sort that comes in a small botlle with a nail varnish type brush attached to the inside of the lid. Next problem - it doesn't seem to exist any more. I've tried motor factors from Halfords to Bert around the corner, but all they can offer is aerosols. If you read the instructions on the aerosols they suggest that for small chips like I have I should spray into the lid of the can, wait for it to thicken a bit then use a Q-Tip to apply. Which seems to me like driving from London to Brighton via Alaska.
Anybody know of a source of ordinary touch-up paint? FWIW the colour I need is Jaguar Dark Blue, but if anybody can point me to a supplier of touch-up paint in general I'll worry about the exact colour match later.
TIA,
