Unhappy problem with paint chipping

I noticed that my paint on the front bumper has been bubbling & chipping alot. It just started like 2 months ago out of nowhere.. Anyone else have this happen.

How much would it be to repaint it??

thanx

Depending on if you wear a push up bra or not... any where from $100 to $400.

Now your talkin! And something to think about is that no matter how good the painter is you will still be able to see the difference in fresh paint vs. old. So ya i would strongly suggest the No Bra thing! So just walk in there and strut your shit and you will magically see the Price go way down.

evil, quite evil indeed.....oh well, love women to much to care about the $$$$

Hey, says you're in NC, whereabouts? my buddy just got his IS300 front bumper repainted, i could ask where he got it done, maybe a discount for referral. Hell, couple that with the hip sway/cleavage discount, it'd be like paying for an oil change

Don't bother touching them up -- get it painted. I spent half of last summer trying to keep up with the little bastards.

if i was you i'd just bring it to a shop and get it sprayed and have them spray all your skirts if they arn't painted yet. then get someone to put that 3m invisible bra junk on it.. that stuff works really well.

something about those little bubbles is that they don't sand out well, they run deep, then even if you manage it, you'll have to blend
and the big problem is that once you see a few, they spread, start popping up here and there. jus trying to save ya some elbow aches/future wrinkles
