Default Rock chip repair in Lower Mainland?

i got a rock chip on my hood that i need to get fixed. i was told that repainting the entire hood is the only way to fix it. does anyone know of any companies in the lower mainland that can do rock chip repairs on the hood? i've asked colorworks, but they say it can't be done. i'm hoping someone here knows better.

Stormforge, did you ever get the rock chips repaired?

I have rock chips on my hood also that I want repaired before I start to polish and wax my car.

no, i haven't had a chance to get it fixed yet. just been too busy at this end. i might bite the bullet and just get it repainted, but i'm not looking forward to spending a couple hundred dollars to repaint!

Try StraightLine Dent repair. The guy you want to talk to his name is Al. When I used to work in the car rental biz we would use him to fox all of our vehicles. Most of the were on the sides or trunk. I don't know if he does hoods or not but it wouldn't hurt to give him a call.

Hey, how'd your experience work out? i'm not sure if i would have done the work myself since it was rusting and all. wonder, where'd you get the paint from? did you try touchup paint before it started rusting?

Thumbs up Re. Straightline paintless dent repair in Vancouver

Al has changed the name to Vancouver Paintless Dent Repair.
He only does paintless dent removal and small scratch repairs where it has not gone too deep into the clear coat.
Here is the link to the site.
