Less than 1 month on road, and about 6-7 times to and fro Canberra/Syd ... already cough myself 5 stone chip mark on the hood ... and today, a bloody EGG size dent came about when a freaking rock came from no where hit the front .... sigh ... anyone know any good repairer for dents? (in syd?) Or should i go all in for a CF hood.

Ohh nooo....... did you drive within a small distance between cars in front?? I normally stay well away from any cars on any highway....
Sorry, didn't have much accident experience to know who's a good repairer to go to....

dont go CF bonnet as that will void your insurance or you may have isurance issues. I'd say go to sydney and get yourself a good repairer. Just a normal panel beater would do the job just fine.

You guys might think I'm crazy, but I knew from day 1 the paint and metalwork on the colt would not last the 5+ years I expect to have her. So I've been formulating a custom stealth style urban-camo paint job where I don't really care about the paintwork...
I already have several scratches on the doors and stuff and a nice stonechip on the bonnet.

I was gonna recommend this technique, but you beat me to it. Anyways, great application of thermal reaction isn't it.

Thanks for the advice dude, appreciate it alot. But my dint is much deeper (probably 0.5 inch) at a comparativly small area (diameter of 3 cm). But i will give it a try.

Dude, sorry to hear about ur window as well. Seriously, those bloody kids should be smacked (bashed :P). They just don't know wat serious accidents they can cause with a simple stone throw.

yeah i know if i was those kids parents i would be ashamed that i didnt discipline them well enough to act like stupid idiots...but if this happens again ill definitely get out of the car and beat the crap out of them...

OMG, boredboi, Mirrabooka Ave is one of the road I always drive. I always drive to Mirrabooka Square to buy stuff. I need to think of another way to get there next time. F**K, those kids r too much nowadays. Which part of Mirrabooka Ave? Near the Supavalu or near the Mirrabooka Square, I am trying to avoid the "stone throwing zone". I feel very sad for ur bad luck. :(
