massbad69 10 Posted October 31, 2015 Hi folks Can anyone help me with how to copy the stonechip effect on the bottom corner of the front wing behind the wheel. There is a small blister in it that I will get cut out next week at the bodyshop but he was asking advice on how to get the best match for the stonechip. The pic is of the small area of stonechip that I'm talking about Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted October 31, 2015 Good question, I've got the same issue, I was thinking of spraying it on thick then going over it with a roller? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fine wine, Belgian chocs. 1 Posted October 31, 2015 In the past (on a different car) I've managed to match it using a normal paintbrush. Painted it on nice and thick and sort of dimpled it with the end of the brush. Just make sure it doesn't sag or else it looks a right mess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi bud, the effect is done with a shutz gun using stone chip paint, i.e upol's gravitex , pretty much every body shop should know this! this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEALEY-SG14-STONE-CHIP-SHUTZ-WAXOYL-WAXOIL-AIR-UNDER-BODY-WAX-SPRAY-GUN-/321734124143?hash=item4ae8d9226f:g:QeoAAOSwqu9VN~7x and this or any other other stone chip that can be used from the shutz gun, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stone-Chip-U-Pol-Gravitex-BLACK-can-be-over-painted-with-most-materials-1lt-/370824709055?hash=item5656e003bf:g:tmMAAOxyMxpRpgba Edited November 1, 2015 by VW_OwneR_85 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no idea why the bodyshop is unsure of the finish as they are s good shop and I have seen their work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted November 1, 2015 I just text the shop and he uses the same gun when he uses stonechip so I don't even understand why he was unsure about getting the same finish :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

massbad69 10 Posted November 1, 2015 wierd! maybe hes just really OCD with matching it 100%, im sure your be happy with the outcome, He did say that to me when I was there, that as it was only a small blister in the stonechip he would rather leave it original but better to get it fixed before it gets bigger.
