I bought my coupe (OB) in October, and recently noticed 3 areas with paint chipping pretty bad. Two spots are right around the front driver's side wheel well, and the other is on the front bumper. The paint is actually chipping/peeling, not just little stone chips.

I brought it to AZ Auto Center in Cambridge yesterday (closest shop I could think of) for an estimate and the guy there recommended stripping both the quarter panel and bumper and repainting both for $800. I wanted to get a paint protector (clear bra?) like this, so he recommended doing the hood too. For all three pieces and the protector, he roughly quoted $1400.

Any suggestions? $1400 seems like a lot, but I trust the guy when he says touching up the paint would be a bad idea. I have the extended warranty. Any chance I'd have recourse there? I don't think paint shouldn't peel like this. Are there better places to go in the area? I guess it's not the end of the world now, I'm just worried about rust (and I want my baby to look good).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

If you want I can recomend you to my GF's brother. He has did work for quite a few members here on the boards (Iron-Mike- side skirts rear bumper painted and installed, Fluffy- painted complete car and installed stock bumpers and skirts, Ben0878- painted complete car as well as my G, complete car installed kit). PM me and I can give you his info.
