I went to seattle today for daytrip, and on the highway, a noisey Falcon overtook my car and presented me a big and deep stone chips on my front bumper.:mad: What and Where is the best way to fix the front bumper with a stone chip of about a size of 1cent? And how can i be aware these happen, as i drive very safety already...........thx for ur help!!!:tiphat:

You mean paint the whole bumper?
If then, how much it would cost?(approx)

just that spot maybe.....


you got sparkles in the paint.... that sucks

my black G has no sparkles at all.... just gloss black

costs 800 to repaint a few scratches on my rear bumper.... someone drove into it

rear painted my whole bumper, deck lid

you cant ,you are aways going to have it...it is unavoidable
if you dont want rock chips in your car the only solution is dont drive it

and no a clear bra doesnt protect it from rock chips ethier..i know coz ive seen it happend

as far as fixin it as mentioned new paint job or buy one of those paint pen but even that you can tell someone has used it(again i know because i have used it before on my other cars)

I'd suggest to live with it, for now - wait until you have enough of them to warrant replacing the front facia (+$300 (link below)) - then get it painted to match ($400-$800, depending on shop and region)

If you want the badge, you'll have to buy it seperate, or, hope you can get it off without damaging it. :)

Honestly, these cars chip extremely easy...so its pretty much unavoidable at this point. Like people said, live with it...and when there is a lot, get it replaced in a couple years. Be happy you don't have a black car like I do.

Its funny because I obcessed over the first chip I got bigtime...then I got a second....then a third...and I've finally "let go" and understand that as my daily driver this is inevitable and the only way to avoid it would be to garage the car and just look at it.
