It's enough to make you spew though you pay alot of cash for a lovley car and it go's all to b****cks

unless you put one of those homo-erotic bras on, you will get stone chips on any car. Unless everywhere you drive is carpeted

Renault paint confuses me, it marks and chips so easily. But when you come to machine out the defects some of the colours can be a right b**ch correct. How can a paint be soft and hard !

 

[nth]

your solution

 

[pecan]

Wouldn't fancy driving around with one of those things on.

[daydotz]

Maybe so hard its almost brittle rich! I just put back on the standard bonnet and forgot how stonechipped it was... looks gash!

Brittle seems a good description.
