You've got it right Jonno, colour first and lacquer when colour is dry.
 I started with nothing and still have most of it left! |

The advice from Rickydodah is spot on. There are lots of good tutorials on the Web/Youtube about how to complete these repairs well. If its larger/visible, then its worth looking at these, I generally build the paint up above the surrounding undamaged area, then cut it back, the best way to do so is with very light abrasives then finish with a cutting polish to restore the gloss finish. If you want to do that, I'd recommend: https://www.paints4u.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=2309 https://www.paints4u.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=3569 Then a good cutting compound, such as 3M take your time and as long as you have a good match with your paint, you can make stone chips disappear! |

Chipex is another alternative for the DIY.
