    i went to my car the other day and somebody has kicked the boot, there is a dint in it and some of the paint has chipped

    i have sort of popped the dint back out so i am not worrying about that, but what can i do about the chipped paint, my dad mentioned a touch up pen or something but where could i get this from? or any other suggestions?

    the colour is icelandic grey and it was in perfect condition before this happened.
    thanks

    One way is to buy an aerosol the exact colour, shake it well, then spray some into the cap then, with a small childs paint brush touch it in, let it dry and repeat. Keep doing this until you're happy with the result. Hope this helps, good luck, Dave.
