981 body shell construction

What's the 981 body shell (roof and bonnet) made out of, steel or aluminium.
I think the bonnet is aluminium, but what about the roof?
Its just that I have picked up a few bad stones chips in the 6 months I have had the car.
I have ordered a touch up stick from Porsche but do I need to do anything else first to the stone chips.

Thanks
Derek

Hi does anyone know what the lowest part of the 981 side skirt is made of( below the door). Twice now I have scratched the side skirt on kerbs at very low speeds turning into car parks

I cant see the scratches side on unless i look underneath the car and they are minor paint scratches with no cracks. Is it made out of plastic like the bumpers?

 
I think it's plastic of some sort right back to the air intake ... I took a paint thickness meter out to mine ... I was very impressed with the consistency until I reached the sills ... either no paint or no metal :)

 
Sunder,

Unfortunately I can't answer your question. It could well be plastic or aluminium, but if it's steel then a magnet will confirm.
