Rock Chip already.....
Rock Chip already.....
I did a search and found there were couple of threads talked about this.However,I saw the picture they posted,the surface will show silverish color if there's a chip presents.Mine is on the front driver fender and it's like a black dot.I was thinking that it's just dirt at the beginning,after trying wiping I found out that it's a chip
The car only got 800km on it and how could it be?
Ok,how come it shows black instead of silver? Cauz it's plastic?
I am really upset now.

Wait until spring, read a bit about touch-up procedures in the meantime, and when the weather is nice, use your newfound knowledge to fix the chip.
This is a yearly process for me it seems.

Hope it's plastic,then I could worry less since it won't cause rust later on.

I'm pretty sure the exterior fender (where the paint is) is sheetmetal. Tap it with your fingernail... if it sounds metallic, you have your answer. Or, grab a kitchen magnet and check.
