Hi All,
Can someone tell me the cost to repair 2 small paint chips on the drivers door. The colour is Alabaster silver, CRV Luxury 2008.

Cheers

if they are quite small, your cheapest option is to go to autobarn or somewhere similar, give them the paint code of your car (commonly found on the inside of the door jam) and they will mix up a batch of ppg paint that matches your colour exactly (providing the attendant isnt shithouse).

then you can dab it on with the supplied brush, or better yet airbrush it if you have one.

or pay a panelbeater/mobile dent fixer guy to come out and airbrush it up for you

the mobile paint dudes arent usually expensive and can be quite a good option sometimes

There's a company called duco magic, they use a resin to fill the chip and then apply touch up paint. Two chips should cost around $70.00

Your other option is to buy genuine touch up paint from your Honda dealer.

...or you could just ask for alabaster silver touch up paint from your dealer
