Thank you WB.

My pleasure

I've just paid £6-00 for a Fuji touch up stick from my local dealer

I got the paints4u £13.99 paint and came with polish and a crap brush but a 100ml size tin of paint, you only need the paint, get decent brush from an artist store.

I hope the paint stick is as much as I will need during my ownership of the car!

Yeah if I use that much paint on my evoque before the tin goes gloopy, Ill be pretty damn grumpy!

Collected the paint stick from Morrison's Land Rover, Stirling this morning and it's a 2 pack set - 12ml of White and 12ml of Clearcoat/ Laquer. Phil don't forget to get your huge pot of clear coat too!

Apparently Lacquer will be mixed in with the colour for extra gloss finish... so it says on the website... Enjoy your 2 stage process!

(I've actually never used the laquer part in the 2 stage for touch up of stone chips anyway! prefer to fill the chip with the colour before a polish off and wax over)

How did you get on using the Fuji White stick? Noticed cleaning my Evoque yesterday that I too have a chip in the door (down to the metal) of only a couple of mm size but worried if I don't catch it while its a new chip.........

So I was looking around for advice on what to do, the stick at £6 sounds grand if it works.

Thanks

If it's down to he metal get something on it quick, the stick will be fine.

Thanks PhilSkill, will have a ride over to the dealers tomorrow and pick one up. I can only presume I have had this damage driving down the motorway as a large stone has flicked up from a truck or something. One chip down to the metal and one pretty much next to it that isn't as deep.
Thanks again
