Worst colour for stone chips?

[Sylvian]

As title.

 

[Fletcher]

Black.

 

[Bluebeard]

Black or dark blue.

 

[Gaz.]

Black, easily.

I think i recall someone saying red are softer paints so chip more easily but i think that might be b****cks, so black.

 

[Adam.]

Storm Grey.

I thought it would be fine being 'primer coloured' but I think they used black primer. :dapprove:

 

[Gally]

Most definitely Red. It's terrible for stone chipping.

Most cars should have a colour coded primer but they haven't really moved onto that yet.

It's something we try in do with all our cars.

the black on 172s.

silver rizlas are thicker, and resist stones better

 

[RDH]

Pink. Trust me.

 

[Bluebeard]

There's two ways of looking at the question.

Which colour chips easier.

Which colour shows up stone chips more.

I refer you back to my previous answer on both counts

It's got to be the thin sheen of pearl black on 172's

You need some black colour magic, car will look like new after 2 coats of that.

I must have about 5/6 bottles of the stuff. You can hide a multitude of sins!! lol.

To be fair the bonnet and bumper are the quite bad on the Clios for chipping.

The bumper is very flat face and the bonnet is quite sloped.

The problems get worse the more you paint these panels.

the turtle wax black polish stuff? Or the thick polish in a squeezy tube (like toothpaste?).

I use both of them and a chip stick on a door scratch and it does help, haven't tried on the bonnet yet, no sense washing the car just to drive 500 yards to be caked in crud again!

Fit a anti stone chip foil!? http://www.bodyguarduk.com/

The bumper is plastic so what? The bonnet is another story...

Still can't be bothered with Gris Iceberg.

The paint on the bonnet is sinking in due to heat exposure.

Black or red.

I f**king hate black cars now. (for keeping clean etc)

 

[andywa]

All dark colours especially BG.

Have a look at Zymol Ebony mate.

Oh and what's the point in wiping your bum? It's going to get dirty again. Right?

I think that's the worst analogy I've ever read.

My front bumper on my Audi (black) was stone chipped, looked shocking in the sun. All fresh as a daidy now, bumper was removed a repainted.

Black Gold.

Stone chips are noticed when washed or dirty. When waxed and polished, it shows up every minor stone-chip too. Does look shiny though.
