factory stone chip

I'm looking for the same type of stone chip that's on the bottom quarter of the car from factory. Amy ideas?

There is a few similar products like Gravitex or Stone chip available in motor factors or paint supply shops but I am not sure of the actual finish as original protection on mx5 seems very fine/smooth.I believe UPOL do a similar product called RAPTOR Truck Bed Liner which is supposed to be brilliant and almost undamagable.I intend doing the floor on my escost with it when I am ready.It was recommended by a lad who does rallying and its brillo !!Sorry meant to say its a 2 pack system so its perfect

Cheers man! I have a spray gun so sounds good! I can rub down all the stone chip that's on it, apply and spray the car 8)

Where do you plan to get Raptor from? Looks like the perfect finish to me

Hi rhys, have you ever heard of this crowd. I have used them before and found them helpful for odd paints, finishes etc. They are on the Douglas side of Musgraves Cash and Carry and just down from Mico Metals
