Paint Chips
So being in VA where there's contruction everywhere and debris flying everywhere I have a couple paint chips. Any suggestions on what I should do? I don't want to do touch-up paint cuz that's just nasty and never comes out right. I have about 4 on the hood and 2 on one of the doors. HELP!

Pl email me if you are considering installing the clear film and want to know the brand/installer to avoid.

You do have to be careful of the installer you pick, and insist on a pre-cut kit, not cut on the car. Asking for the leading edge of the hood to be wrapped under is another good thing to look for. Some kits include it, some don't, but since the leading edge of the hood is very vulnerable, it's a good thing to have for certain.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any StonGard installers in the DC/VA area - the nearest one I know of off the top of my head is in NJ - that's a bit of a drive. Some tint shops may be willing to give a clear bra a shot, though. Certainly worth asking around.
