buy the paint from halfords if you doing it your self not that expensive, take it to a garage to have the dents out they might be able to pull them out.

[xlisax]

or try to pop them out yourself

hi there touch up paints ok but doesnt all ways match well and can end up looking worse than it was! if i was you mate just get it done at a body shop and be happy with it!!!! have fun

[joe106gti]

small dents you can get with the plunger kit from halfords. worked on mine anyway. got one for sale in the 'for sale' section under 'random bits for sale'.
as for the stone chips. try t-cut then a touch up pen form halfords or peugeot paint if its bad

[wilson479]

if the dents dont have creases them or theyre not on a corener section, try heating them for a minute with a hair dryer then imediatley spray a can of compressed air held upside down onto the patch.

just pops out, check youtube for videos of how to do it.

compressed air you can get from maplins or computer shops, its used for cleaning dust out of keyboards.

if its creased or pretty bad shape, you'll have to get a pro to push the dent out from inside with some special hook tools. if you try yourself you run the risk of making things worse :(

halfords can do a colour match for you, just give them your paint code.

alternatively, go to your nearest peugeot dealer, ask for spares department. give them your registration plate and they will tell you what your paint is called and also what its equivalent is.

like bianca white for the 106 is exact same as blanc banquise. kingfisher might have another name that halfords use.

youtube got some good videos showing how to do paint touch ups too :)
