Sounds very good although I am confused about which kit to order for Ovni Yellow...AMARILLO OVNI(99+)?

Some of the paint codes can have their European or place of origin names, the manufacturers sometime even give them different names in Europe compared to here in the UK, and it can be confusing for the end user.

The paint code should ensure the colour is correct even if the name might not make sense. The industry works off the paint codes not names, they give them names so they sound good in the car brochures. ;)

Amarillo = Yellow in Spanish and Negro = Black in Spanish.


Sombra Gris for example means Shadow Grey in Spanish, but its actually Platinum Grey here in the UK. :)

I may get myself one of these kits after my holiday, but like Jam Jay I am abit confused. :confused:.

I used the drop down menu at the side and the first colour on the list was Alpine White 92/00. Which is correct, but when you select it, the OEM paint code comes up as L025. But when I look on the sticker in the boot and in the service book the paint code comes up as L90E.

Would love to hear how this goes for people that get it. Looks good, but don't want to end up with the same mess I've got from the SEAT touch up paint (platinum grey my arse!!!!!!!!)

The paint will never match exactly as the paint will have faded, I used Megs 3000 unigrit and cutting compounds and polishes to to do many of my chips, works but this looks alot easier. £45 oh maybe wait didn't realise it was that expensive how much paint you get!

I will get around to a full review soon, I've not had much time recently with work. But I fully recommend this product if your still sat on the fence. Its an excellent kit and provides everything you need to make a good chip repair and its not a difficult process to master.

Having a black/special metallic fleck, my car is probably one of most difficult to match up, yet the paint is spot on. Under close inspection you would probably locate the repairs especially if they are quite deep chips, but you can keep applying layers once dry to build up the finish. Which is what I have been doing on a number of mine and the results are superb.

We get a good 15% discount as is, but at this current 25% discount offer its a no brainer. You get plenty of paint and other supplies. the kit will last you quite some time. This isn't just a one chip repair kit, it should serve you well for a while.

Just placed my order too after looking through the process on their website it looks pretty easy. For somebody on such a meagre wage as myself :cry: it's a little pricey but if it's a good as described I'm sure it will be worth the money.

So far so good, I got my email today to say the product has been shipped, so hopefully I will have it in time for the bank holiday weekend so I can sort out the nasty stone chip on my bonnet.
