Are you UK based? Somehow think not, are you US based? Don't know if you can get Humbrol paint for models - I mean self-assembly model ships, aircraft etc. It comes from the model shop (there's a surprise) in tiny pots. It's good for covering up stone chips.

i am uk based, whats the difference!!

Humbrol, definately. Dirt cheap, all sorts of colours to choose from, and you can build it up in layers. Or touch-up paint from alfords but it's not very good, enamel's tougher.

Or, colour in the dent with a marker pen- done that myself, looks better than you'd think.
