Didn't think they did that, will go and try it this afternoon. its a small bit of paint about 5 cm by 2cm. looks like someones got under it and peeled what they can off.

Yeah they should do, it's as simple as taking the make and model and matching the paint colour as long as it's a stock manufacturer colour that is

Chips not too difficult and as already said try Halfords for paint match. Use cocktail stick to place paint into chip rather than brush, a bit at a time.

 

However, it is very difficult to do 'touch up' of scratches on a bonnet due to it being too flat so you will notice the repair.

 

I know you do not want to hear this but best bet is a re-spray of the bonnet.

 

Another option is to try ChipsAway but they may tell you same.

Tim from mint motors is very good at what they do, unfortunately 90% of their work is in dealerships or customers referred by dealerships, they struggle to get to other private customers due to that workload.
