front end disaster

Hello everyone. New to the forum, but have had a black g for about 6 mos now. Dream car!! Drive expressways everyday...
The front end, 3/4 of the way up the hood, is a disaster. What do you suggest? Could do a halo paint, but what prevents a reoccurance?

Re: front end disaster

Do you mean it's just all chipped up? If so, look into clear bras (by 3M or others). Lots of threads on it, just do a search. However, most clear bras just go up the hood about 6 inches, nowhere near the 3/4 you mention. I suppose you could do the whole thing, but that may get pricey. At least then the faint line won't be seen either though.

Anyhow, welcome!

Re: front end disaster

Hey stealthg, welcome to our community!

Unfortunately we are all in the same position. I am kicking myself now for not doing a clearbra when I bought the car 3 months ago ... it's too late now [img]/w3timages/icons/frown.gif[/img].

There is a big thread on this over at freshalloy: <a href="http://forums.freshalloy.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB25&Number=67734800&page =1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1" target="blank">Paint Chips by the thousands</a>. It seems that several people have had good luck after a repaint. It's the water based paint that Infiniti uses.
Just yesterday I was at my dealer for an oil change and the clearbra installer was there. I talked to him for a while and he says he sees this on most new cars ... Porsche, Acura, Mercedes, etc. So it's not just our cars.
