I need help I have a deep stone chip on my seibon hood ive called around various body shops and none know what to do except one but im not totaly sure about them but the guy was saying its a difficult job as nothing can touch the weave or it will ruin it.
So I was hoping someone here could advise me and maybe point me in the direction of a body shop that can repair it.
Im based in chertsey surrey (near staines)

The problem is, its the resin coat that is damaged....so the impact from the stones is actually "denting" the hardend resin........very difficult to repair so that you get a mirror free finish again.
Turned into the worst part of my life....my precious fd3 has gone, but never forgotten....roll on a new life!!!!

Im not massively bothered if it isnt perfect I just want a proper job also the couple bodyshops have got confused cos its not the standard glossy finish its matte im guessing just a lacquer but there saying they need to respray the whole thing.
