Re: painting bumper by grille

how small are the chips?
if they are really small i would try using touch up paint. keep this in mind there is no paint job like the original. i have a few chips my self on my front bumper, but that's what happens when you drive 40 miles a day on a freeway.

Re: painting bumper by grille

Once you get your front repainted, invest in a clear bra. The clear bra is a 3M(TM) High Performance Clear Film is specially designed to preserve the beauty and integrity of automotive finishes. It is ideal for protecting Class A surfaces in high-wear areas from chipping, denting, abrasion, and most types of environmental damage.

You won't regret it..........

The wax has to be removed from the car first. You can wax over it if you want. The film is actually naturally shiney. The wax makes it easier to clean off.
