Paint damage

I recently had my windshield replaced and the installer chipped my car 3 times down to the metal. The shop apologized and offered to have someone touch it up. I have m own omf paint pen, so I did it myself. The shop did give me a case of window cleaner. FYI-my insurance pays for total price of the glass. no out of pocket

I now have 6 dings.
Question: How many paint chips does your evo have (rocks, parking lots, …)?

if you got the money get a 3M clear bra, it worked wonders on my front end for paint chips.

About half a dozen on my front lip. Will probably have them professionally touched up and then put the 3-M mask on it.
