E90 320i 2006 Crimson Red

Chaps,

My BMW has a few nasty deep stone-chips and supermarket dings on the paintwork. What's the best way to make them good? I'm lazy so I don't mind paying someone to do it but I don't want to go to the expense of getting a whole bonnet sprayed for the sake of a couple of nasty stone chips. (I love my BMW but it's done 69k miles and though still quite young I don't expect it to be immaculate, just don't want it to look unsightly or start corroding).

do you know of any detailers on your area??? If so get them to fill the chips just proud of the surface, flatten it and then polish it out with a DA or orbital polisher. Car park dings, try a paintless dent removal guy.

Cheers for the advice. Where can I get touch-up paint as quick temporary fix? Halfrauds don't seem to stock the colour yet.
