The Legacy has picked up enough stone chips to the (metallic black) paintwork on the bonnet that its time to do something about repairing them.
Also, there's a single deeper chip to the windscreen pillar that has rust in it. Now IIRC ku-rust and products like it used to come with a warning that you couldn't paint over them afterwards. Mind, the last time I used this stuff was on my father's old Rover SD1!
What does the Forum recommend to reverse the rusting in the chip and stop it spreading such that I can touch up the spot afterwards?
The others are all small, quite flat, spots where only the outer black lacquer has been removed, exposing the off-white primer underneath. I'm reckoning on doing these with black touch up paint and polishing back to as smooth as finish as I can get once its dried fully. Any advice here?
EDIT: Apologies, just realised I should have posted this in Technical. Mods, any chance you could move it please?
