I noticed the other day, I have a small tiny pics of paint missing in the middle of my hood I don't know if its bad paint, I always mentioned it cause I used to see the "crappy paint" post on here alot, but I don't know,

I've noticed that I don't stay far back from other cars/pickups when I drive on the freeway anymore, think this is my reminder nick to back off or is this an issue still not fixed from 05.

Under the car paint is grey/silverish. two on the hood, very small on the bumper

 

welcome to the club ...mine is all screwed up.....thats why im waitin for kaeon and carbon fiber

 

I'm gonna get some touch up paint next time I go to the dealership. It was 11 bucks. Murray's had it for 5.99 but I don't want to get the wrong color of white.

But I don't really think Its chipped like I thought it saw going to or like the people a year ago on here were talking about..

Like i said, mine is tiny, and it might just be there, because I've been worrying about it since I got the car

 

My 06 hood is all chipped up from little pieces of gravel NY roads are known for. The paint job is not all that great. seems very thin. I am planning on getting a OEM styleCF hood. Does anyone have recommendations?

 

AH, me too. Saw it the last timeI washed my car. Rightin the middle of my hood. Its hard to point out. but I can see it!

 

I have 3 big scratches and a dent in my hood, a broken fog, scraped/ chipped windshield, 3 big chips on my fenders. Sucks plus the front bumper is all chipped up, suv's a truck a the worst to stuck behind.

 

^^^ I feel like I should even of mentiond mine............geez^^^

What could help this guy out? Sounds like you need more than touch up paint. By the way, anyone that used the touch up paint.........does it really work well

 

I had that same problem with my white tC. During my last visit to the dealership for schedule maintenace, I purchase the touch up paint fo the car. They don't sell Scion touch up paint. Since we have the same colors found in Toyota and Lexus, we use the toyota/lexus touch up paint. If you have a Super White Scion this is the touch up paint you will need.

im a member of the chipped hood too.all freeway driving,really small but still noticable.im thinking of a carbon fiber hood too,although im not big into racing/tuning.

 

Use a toothpick with the touchup paint - the brush is ridiculous and will make a mess.

I just hav'nt had good luck with my TC, harm always seems to find it. Oh well, now I have an excusse to get a CF hood, cheaper than fixing the dent on the hood.

What color touch up paint would CSM be ?

 

Hmmm, I'd guess, FM or BSP?



It's 1F7

 

they dont make touch up paint for bsp eh? The the car was black maybe a sharpie... JK!

 

ha.....

toothpick...........if you say so, I read the back of a spray can, it
said use in 60 degrees weather or higher..........assuming the
touch up paint is the same.........its something I'll have to
wait on and wash until its warmer, or a road trip to southern
states

 

You can use a blow dryer to heat it up. Thats what the tint shops do with tints, overlays, clear bras, etc. Just a suggestion.

Spray paint? No, I'm talking about the little metal tube with the cap/brush...

I just noticed one tiny chip on my hood and I was going to do exactly what you did, buy the touch-up from the dealer and use a tooth pick !!

I was so ____ed when I founf it. !

 

1F7 is that SSM or CSM, because I got SSM touch up paint and it was lighter than mine.

 

1F7 is CSM. 1E7 is SSM.
