Default Stone Chip Repair

Picked up a nasty chip on my drivers side wing, presumably from a stone, its left a nice crater and he paint is slightly lifted, it's hard to explain.

I had a go at repairing it on saturday with a hairdryer, Honda touch up paint, a needle, a DA and some thinners to level it off.

The result is ok but I'm not fully pleased with it.

Are there any other methods I might use to get more of an invisible repair? I've got a few bits to do but I lack the confidence to take on anything more than a stone chip at the moment, and don't want to make it look worse from trying anything silly.

Thanks!

I was looking into stone chip repair on the weekend. There are some threads on Detailing World if you are feeling brave enough to use wet&dry sandpaper. I'm considering Langka but waiting for better weather!

Found this, I think it's what you were talking about: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=20127
