yeah I agree thanks I will hold off until I find a good body shop. if anyone knows of any in NJ let me know. I took mine to this shop for an estimate and it was over $1000 to paint a bumper (WTF)

they must be doing a full strip-fill-repaint-blend - clear coat....

i have a bunch of small chips/dings on the hood and front bumper but i'm leaving them. adds character

or you can get a clearcoat after fixed to keep your paint nice and sexy! price will vary but it was a couple thousand CAD for full hood, bumper and fenders.

Pick up some Langka and fix them yourself. There is a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, they're invisible. My Mercedes chipped horribly, but always looked brand new since I'd fill the chips about once a month.

After the repair (long cure time) the "clear bra" is the way to go. First thing to do to a new car.

Damn,once a month! That's a horrible paint job. At least you kept on top of it.
