took my silver tl for a 200 mile drive tryed not to follow any one to closely when in i got home noticed a little nick on the bumper probaby from a small rock tryed to touch up paint doesnt cover well over black primer so i touched up with a little white paint first then silver looks a little better anyone have any other ideas? do this bumpers chip easy????? WINKLY

 

Yeah, my lower front lip already looks like it's been thru war and I've only had the car 4 months now. Probably wind up getting it repainted some time.

I would advice against re-painting unless there is no other option. Re-painting, dramatically reduces the value of the car during trade-in, since they tend to assume the worst with a re-painted car - that it has been involved in an accident.

just my 2c

I was F u c k i n g wrecked last night and I slammed this B i t c h in a I30 but my bumper didn't chip. Sorry you must have gotten a defective bumper from the factory, I would write a letter to Acura if I were you.
To fix it I would use silver duct tape it would look better than white

Not funny.

 

But it's just the front body kit piece. I'm not talking about painting the entire car, just that one piece. I'm thinking they should be able to sand it down and put a new fresh coat on there. Once I get it back, I was thinking of buying a sheet of the xpel bra and cutting it to fit the front kit. This way I wouldn't have to deal with the scratches in it any more.

 

Why don't you get the touch up paint and that Lanka stuff everyone been talking about. It's suppose to smooth out the touchup paint really well. I haven't tried it but I will soon because I got a few nicks myself. Not to mention the bottom lip of my bumper is scratched up and it aint even a body kit. Yeah...I drive it hard and I jump over train tracks hehehe. Anyway...good luck, but I wouln't repaint the whole bumper...that's bad.
