As soon as the temperatures warm up in the GTA and I get a chance to give my car a nice wash, I'll have tons of pictures of all the paint damage on my car.

i got chips infront of the back wheel, a big *** bird landed on my car so i got some claw marks on the roof. My damn cat decided to jump into the engine bay when i was waxing the car one day, slips off and scratches the side. Im havin nothing but bad luck with the paint.

I have two small chips on my hood, right where it meets up with the bumper that are rusting. One spot on the side of the car by the back door that is rusting. I also have some scrunched up paint on the drivers side where the bumper meets with fender.

I'll take pics later.

Here's some pictures I took today. Consider that I have Rally Armor Mud Flaps and 3M Clear Bra installed on the front hood, front and rear splash area and back of mirrors, my paint chipping kept at a very minimum level.

The first picture shows the front right. There is one big paint chipping spot.

The second picture shows the rear left. There are some paint chipping spots on the edge where my 3M clear bra didn't cover.
