Just curious if anyone had a solutions for paint damage. The chips are driving me crazy.
Granted the bottom front-spoiler damage (img#1) is my own fault , but I have other chips(img#2) all over the front end and two at the bottom of the trunk.
Just curious what my options are or if anyone had any solutions.
I am considering CM's Front Splitter or a oem spoiler to help with the spoiler damage. I would prefer to stay away from the oem spoiler, but it may be the only solution.
As for the chips, I have no idea besides a repaint. The seem too numerous for touch-up paint, but then again, I've never had touch-up work done on the car.
Is touch-up a viable solution without ruining the look?
Should I consider having the entire front spoiler repainted and how much should I expect that to cost? (I would still have a few other chips, but 80% of the chips are located there)
Should I hold out and just have the whole car repainted after 3-5yrs? (...and how much would that set-me back?)
Thanks for any opinions/help

 

I feel for you...had the same type of damage on the front bumper after less than a month of ownership.

I got a complete repaint for $250.00 and then bought the CM splitter...it has been a money saver

 

Hmm.....$250
Was this through Honda or a body shop? Maybe something I should look into.

 

The cost was just for the front bumper and I got it through a body shop which happens to be the authorized dealer for MB, Porsche.

 

solution: repaint
prevention: dont hit curbs

 

Please help, I'm trying to figure out how not hitting curbs will help with the chips on the trunk and near the headlights.

 

You can try this to fix your front lip: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...?threadid=66315

 

I thought about the that (the airbrush route), then I looked at a few of my home built models
... and decided against it
Great tip though if you are competent with the tools. Unfortunately, I don't trust myself

 

you might be able to cover some of that with a front oem spoiler

 

The OEM spoiler should cover all of that damage on your lower front.
