How long?

My bonnet suffered a stone chip before the car was a month old. I've been holding off having it repaired as I believe that a new car's paint hardens off over time, and I might as well wait to see if it suffers any more chips before it's fully hardened.
Am I right in thinking that the paint will harden off, or is this old technology? How long should I wait?

Apparently detailers would state the 'curing' time is between 30-90 days. You'll need to know when the car was painted at the factory, this could have been several weeks before you took delivery, if a factory order, if bought new from stock , it could be a lot longer or shorter time dependent on how long the dealer had the vehicle in stock.
