Washed and waxed my car today, found a chip on the hood right above the grill. Pretty small, but it went strait to the metal. I thought i could get the dealership to fix since i havent had it two weeks, but of course they pulled that rock on the highway BS. What is the best thing i can do about this without spending a massive amount $$$?

 

touch up paint. welcome to the chipped-tc club.

It happens man -- "Hazards of the job" -- BTW ur local bodyshop guy can make u TU paint that will cost u less in the long-run

 

welcome to the scion has crappy paint and xb windshields club!

 

i kind of got bored painting my chiped paint marks or what ever you wanna call it

 

Same here. You'd think if it went through the friggin' primer coat, something's up with the paint.

But the dealership doesn't see it that way.

I ended up getting my hood and front bumper repainted by a bodyshop.

Something you may want to consider down the road. For now though, try touch up paint on a toothpick. And as mentioned, you'll be better off getting the touch-up paint custom mixed instead of buying the dealer's paint.

 

[quote="Somnambulated"]How much for the total? And do u know how much would it be if i just wanna repaint my front bumper? If you dont mind, please hook me up with the shop.
I needa repaint my front bumper because when i went through a 45 degree driveway in a parking lot, i f*ucked up my front bumper real bad........... I cant not believe that, my car is only lowered with Htech and i already drove it real slow and already drove though it like this \\ ....
