so after the snow and ice stopped coming down. i decided to clear of the car. you know all that crappy white stuff i wanted off. well in the front i noticed a few white chip marks on my nose and about 10 more under the mitsu emblem.... can i fix these chips myself? if so with what? i need to get it inspected soon so i wonder if the dealership will fix that for me too?

i also noticed theres a small crack in the right lip. ill have to take pictures and post them. I would now, but this damn PA weather wind at 50mph is not welcoming to do so .

Thanks!

 

buy the touch-up from mitsu and fix it urself

 

got a price range?

 

for about 3 grand you can get a nice paint job

 

touch up paint is like 11 dollars us... BUT it sucks just like all touch up pens.. the clear coat applicator sucks soo bad...

 

ya.. touch up sucks... but if u get a small dots... who would notice it.... besides... i suspects the white dot CMcraz23 mentioned are road salts:P

 

Get the touch up, and then have an experienced detailer buff over it, followed by a nice wax.

 

here is the paint deal whatever on the right lip


here are those white dot marks


Some more white dot marks


Underneath my right lip (not sure how it got there)

 

anyone feel like giving a shot how much money it would take to fix it etc?

it always seems like my threads never get answered as much. lol. oh well. i guess quality is better than quanitiy

 

Take your car back to the dealership that you got your car from.

 

OMG!!!! are u serious.... wow i would go back to the dealership and tell them u want a new hood... and if they say no tell them you will get the dog and pony show on their dealership lol
wait.. what is the last picture of?? is that the hood?? or what?

 

the last picture is underneath the right lip thing on the drivers side.

i love all the sarcaism!

 

spend the money and get the 3m clear bra. I am sure glad I did.

 

oh i thought it was somehwere visible.. my underneath is scratched up like that too..

 

I can understand the paint getting scratched under the front bumper like that. What with steep driveways, tall parking blocks, and all that... but the paint is flaking off. Paint flaking off a part like that indicates: A) poor prep work and/or B) not enough flex additive in the paint.

Of course, I could be over reacting. I suppose if you hit something hard enough you'll get the paint to flake like that no matter how much flex additive is in the paint.

**EDIT: seeing that you also have cracks on the TOP of the front left lip, I'd venture that you or someone else driving your car hit something or took a driveway too quickly...
