Speaking from the (gut-wrenching!) experience of being caught in a hail storm, I can say that penny size hail didn't crack the paint, but it did leave little "stone chips" in the paint - about the size of a pin head.

Nothing like a few hundred chips like that to become pretty handy with a Langka kit. My thought was to temp the repairs until I could afford to repaint the car. But! In no time I discovered the secret was drying time, and I was able to repair a few hundred chips (on a black 95 Vette) to where I could not see the repairs, and I knew where they were too!

Fixed some buffer burns on my red Z as well. Nobody could pick out the damaged and repaired edges now.



Why do you ask? (If you don't mind me asking)



YMMV....Just sayin.
