Careful...some paints react with other paints...it may wrinkle or disolve the paint of the car...so before you start, find an area where you can do a small test on..like under the front spoiler / bumper and check first...same with the clearcoat.
In my opinion, the best quality finish is from Rustoleum paints. The spray is very fine, and if you follow the directions, it won't run. It"dries" pretty quick too. Use 600 grit as the roughest paper, and finish with 1200 or finer. You can actually use 2000 on your existing painted surfaces - with water - and then use a good polish to finish and you wouldn't see the difference to the surrounding shine. Water is absolutely vital though..don't "dry" paper - ever!!

I was told stone chips are the hardest to do
Use a needle with touch up paint "it works"

I purchased a kit from Chipex, but fiddly but with care gives great results - not cheap though
