Paint

Hey Guys-
My car has been chipping like crazy lately, or maybe I just never noticed it that much before. Either way, I have been looking into ways to fix it. Whtdya think, should I find someplace to repaint the whole thing, this time right, or should I just touch up the areas that are chipping? Thanks.

I forgot to mention that I have been looking into a rear spoiler, but I have had my car for some time and was worried about the paint being different from the rest of my car.

Use Zaino, hen your paint will be chip resistant, and the paint will also be better than the first day you bought it.

I was thinkin about Zaino, esspecially after seeing all the threads on it, but do they have stuff to get rid of scratches, or just to protect against them.

how can zaino make your paint chip resistant? it's just a polish/wax. i know it prevents dust, water, contaminants from sticking and ruining the paint. but if a rock or pebble goes straight to yor car, i'm pretty sure the paint will still chip, right?

Yeah, but it's waxzilla. I definitely have some hits that cut into the zaino some, but didn't hit the paint. So it's not noticable.
'course, you can layer up the zaino so the more you have on, the more protection you have.

no polish will make your car chip resistant

your going 75mph, a rock comes flying off a truck tire at a similar rate of speed, imagine the speed of impact

for the thickness of the paint, its not really that bad
i have a couple of chips, but i quit getting mad about it on my last car, i can't keep in the garage forever.

maybe a white car next time..........................
