What's a good way of fixing up my recently chipped paintwork on my hood. i was riding behind a dirt truck or something.... didn't notice chips in my paintwork until today... is this something i can do myself?

Try, Duco Magic or the Touch Up Guys or ChipsAway, Look for them in the yellow pages under Panel beaters, spray painters or Car detailing. These sorts of business just do paint chips, scratches, unlike full on panel beaters spray painters will do the whole panel.They have specialised paint matching systems and dealers use them. I used to have a Chips Away franchise until I got ill around 10 years ago. I recommend this way as they do this every day, so they have the equipment, ie a small hobby air brush or paint brushes.. You can do it yourself but to get the right stuff to do it and the steady hand well it's up to you. The panel beater, sprat painters will mix the paint you want but they will only mix a certain amount 250-500mls and a 500ml spray can.
