Anywhere I can can exact colour matching chip filler?

Shane, there were a few filled ones on the GS and they were perfectly done. What did you use?

There was a group buy on ftooc for touch up sticks (must be months ago now, still haven't got mine! :roll: ), or there's the occasional one turning up on ebay every so often.

Part code for a bottle of A34 or Steel silver to you and me is MZ101955.

I got mine a good while back but I wasn't very impressed with the colour match or consistantcy TBH, A34, can be difficult to match at the best of times.

Dean, if you're coming along to the meet in June, your welcome to give it a try.

Will it stop corrosion? Thats the only thing I am worried about. They arent really noticable on a steel silver fto. Its just one or two are starting to go a little brown.

I used a pro :) A guy up here in dublin who's spraying the new grill for my golf as we speak. I dunno exactly what he did - I just asked him to touch up the stone chips.

No, but it will slow it down. You would need to remove all trace of rust, prime, then paint. Sounds like a lot of hassle for a few stone chips!
