Is there any companies in the Essex area any of ou guys or gals have used to have chips repaired and have had a good job done?

Ive got a few white spots on my bonnet from stone chips and just want them removed, and one that has gone straight through the paint to the metal.

Any ideas? Have tried a googley search and really dont know what im looking for price wise and that.

Any help grreatly appreciated :y:

You can get companies like chips away, that use a mini spray gun just put a little paint on each chip then polish the whole bonnet up and removes excess paint just to leave the chips filled with paint. Doesnt look amazing and im not too sure how much they charge, but it cant cost that much more to get the full bonnet done. Full bonnet can vary from 100-200.
Id rather have a bonnet covered in chips rather than a bonnet covered in touch ups, looks naff.
