DIY Windshield Stone Chip Repair

Did you know that DIYing a windshield stone chip repair is cheap and relatively easy, with results just as good as or better than the professionals? Why spend $50 or more when you can do it yourself for 1/5 of the price? If you can read and follow instructions, (and if you can't - look for Permatex's YouTube channel) you can repair a stone chip in your windshield - both to improve the appearance, and prevent the chip from turning into a crack. The kit we use is the Permatex Bullseye Windshield Repair Kit. Not only do the results look great, our oldest repair is over a year old and shows no signs of cracking. Take a look: On the left is the chip before repair. In the middle is the repaired chip. On the right is a professionally-repaired chip for comparison. As you can see, the repair that we did reduced the appearance of the chip by two thirds or more. With smaller chips, the repair is completely invisible. While the product's performance is excellent, our only complaint is that there is just 0.025 fl. oz of resin included in each kit. The included tools are all reusable (clean while still wet with acetone or rubbing alcohol) and thick and wide double-sided tape is easy to find. If anyone knows where to buy more resin, let us know.
