I'm using the paints4u kit for somechip damage on the bonnet wings and a few scrapes and knocks around the car. I'm not after a A1 finish as my 8 isn't the best anyway. I've been using 2000 wet dry paper and it looks horriffic but a good compound polish and all is well.

The paint match from the paints4u kit is very good and even with a unseasoned dummy like me doing it it's hard to spot where i've repaired.

My car will be at ADI and i'm more than happy to let people have a play with it, the kit will be in the boot and i doubt i'll get round to polishing it now before the wk-end.
