So far its had all the chips grind out with the dremel and 2 fills of araldite, might fill a few of the small chips and then paint. I guess you also need a good few coats of lacquer over the paint?
I used Mipa Rapidfiller self etching primer filler, it sticks great so no worries about the paint peeling off and fills any bits and pieces you have missed around the araldite, it's a single pack too

Then I used regular gloss 2k black and body colour, flatted black then a coat of 2k clear flatted and polished. I figured that as it's something you touch all the time it would need to feel nice (OOH EER Missus) and be super hard wearing.

Pinstripes are optional
