My front bumper has a RIDICULOUS number of rock chips. I was thinking about just spraying it down with matching paint.. Just so it's not as noticeable. There's no point in me getting my bumper professionally redone since I drive my car to and from school (500+ miles one way) at least twice a year, which is when the rock chips occur.

Any opinions on this?

Does Acura/Honda even sell a spraypaint that would match?

Thanks.

 

i mean- ur car is pretty new being 02, i'd just get it done professionally and get a partial or full nose mask.....or try that new 3M clearcoat protectant stuff....what do ya think?

 

I'm looking for a $10 fix

 

Bumpers are bound to get messed up... I just want to make it less ugly?

 

oh....alright....how bout....




the nosemask is $90 or less and would cover the chips.

 

I'll take a pic when I get a chance...

I'll also show you guys where I ripped off some paint trying to scratch some crap on my bumper with my fingernail

Call me picky, but I'm not a fan of car bras/masks.

 

i mean you could try to sand it yourself and spray paint it.....or but put some bread on da swiss and eat it!

 

Anyone else have input?

 

clera bra...would have saved u the trouble

 

in order for it not tl look worse than it is, you will have t sand the WHOLE thing down to get all the chips out, then primer and paint and clear. ther is NO 10 dollar fix. have it done right and have the clear bra put on, or put up with it. i have 164,000 miles on my tl and it looks liike that too. and i have resprayed the front bumper twice. a bra, or teh clear bra is teh only thing thats going to keep it from doing it all over

 

IF the chips are small u can go to honda/acura dealer or even autozone and get touch up paint, just clean and prime it first. thats the $10-$15 fix. im in CT and we have a car place here that makes factory paint into spray cans and then u could take the bumper off and use that. unfortunately its $25 a can and u might need 2 to do the whole bumper , plus $5 flex primer and $5 clearcoat. PM me if u got anyquestions.

 

get a clear bra, its saved my paint numerous of times.

 

clear bra is on my car too

best way to protect your car

 

summerlun sent me this site http://www.paintworldinc.com/search...&btnSearch.y=12

jus look for ur cars color code on the inside of the drivers side door area...

 

pick up your local phone book and look in the yellow pages. most automotive paint stores (not ones like autozone) will or can mix and put into a spray can for you

 

Get it fixed professionally and then use a bra for the 500 mile trips..

 

exactly what im going to do. mine is getting real bad too, im going to get it repainted and then use the acura bra whenever i go on long trips
