Check your wheel well. I've got one in the paint facing the wheel.
Don't think I could handle finding any more at the moment. One is gut wrenching enough.:(

I hate stone chips, but when I get them I order whatever the type of paint is on the car, be that water based with lacquer to 2k on some older ones (I have a small plastic container of hardener for the 2k). Build up the paint until it's proud of the chip and then use a clay bar to get rid of most of the "bump" then something like 2000 / 2500 wet and dry paper on a block to flatten (paper is soaked over night)Then polish with a decent cutting polish. YOu would only know under street lights ....most of the time you don't see them. Takes about 1 hour to do.a few but time lapse is 24 so they dry rock hard

Just gave Nick at Detail My Car a ring and he said he has some touch up paint for my car and arranged to go down on Jan 7 to get sorted and new window coated. Just got to try and forget that it's there now. (Yeah right!):chill:
