Default Paint

Gave the car a good going over today

Washed, clayed, polished and waxed

Not happy with the paint though, a couple of minor chips as you'd expect (done 6k) but starting to get road rash on the bottom of the quarter panels

I'm now seriously considering venture shield or a similar solution

Anyone got any experience of this stuff ?

Costs, pro's and cons, etc

Had mine done about 18 months ago. Personnaly I think it has been a great idea. Be careful who you use though as the companies who apply the stuff are franchises and there are bad as well as good ones out there

As this car is predominantly a driving machine and not a showroom object, and the fact that HONDA spray the thinnest coat of paint it is possible to place on metal its no surprise that this happens. perhaps the only semi permanent solution is the venture shield.
