I was dropping my sister off at an exercise place tonight, and the place has a gravel carpark with a bit of a dip going into it.
Fell in a pothole hidden in the gravel, and scraped the front splitter

I'll see how bad it is tommorrow, and see if I can repair it with a small respray rather than full respray.

Does anyone recommend a HARD setting laquer for front end body panels? to reduce stonechips etc?

OUCH M8........

sorry i cant recommend a hard setting laquer, just put load's on to thicken it up a bit, this may help

Pothole???

Looks more like you hit a bluddy bomb crater!

Bad luck bud.

From an experience my Dad had I understand that the owner of the road (or council if a public road) is liable when pothole is deep enough to cause damage. Might be worth a check

From what I understand HARD setting laquer chips more easily!!

I would say it would make it brittle & chip easier
