| Chipped by Rocks
I was driving on UBC highway when this truck sped past and flew rocks up against my car and windshield.
I have various chips and was wondering how I can fix the ones which chip right into the bare metal?
Thanks

Touch-up paint from the dealer, or one of those touch-up pens. Unfortunately chips will always be a part of driving.

^ You're talking about actual denting of the metal?
I just thought he was talking about chips that took out the primer as well.

The only option is to live with the rock chips or get the entire panel repainted. Nothing can buff it out.

That was nothing compared to the time when I literally watched a c-lai parallel park in front of my car and backs her Maxima right into my car...and thought it was her wheel hitting the curb!!!  | |

I'm usually reciting their license plate and car make and model in my head and ready to open the door and pounce on the bitch.  | |

make sure u clean & sand the spot thoroughly before applying touch-up paint. Otherwise it will still rust from inside out.

Just go to your local dealership or shop to ask them to put on one of those black rubber mask for the front bumper that matches your car.

Just use touch up paint to stop those chip spots from rusting.
Your car is meant to be driven, here are things you can do.
1. Clear bra
2. Black mask bra
3. Use masking tape and tape up whole front end *lol*
4. Live with it and just touch it up here and there
5. Don't drive your car
Don't take it too seriously. You'll be more pissed when you get door dings.

If you've got a lot of chips, make an ICBC claim. It will cover a repaint of all the damaged areas as well as replacement of any parts that cannot be repaired (chrome grille, mirror caps etc.) In addition it will cover a new windshield! All you'll have to cover is your comprehensive deductible... and because it's a comprehensive claim, it doesn't affect your safe driving history or your discount structure.  www.bavara.ca | |
