yeah i know
but my body shop said it will be very noticble and the car is only 3 weeks old so im working to pay off the bill. Also there is no way i put it through my insurance. i live in nj im on my moms insurance and i pay 4000.00 a year with no points or accidents.so something this small its cheaper to pay for it out of pocket than go through insurance.

I would try the touch up first! By the way, I am a south jersey boy myself, some folks would call me a "piney". And our insurance rates sure do SUCK!! Everyone should be happy if they do not drive here!!

ARRRGGGHHH! Rock Chips!
I can safely admit I suck at painting...fences...houses...no problem. Can't do CARS! But, I got my first rock chip today! So, does anyone have any tips on how to make it look semi professional with going to professionals? Anything would be very, very helpful.
Thanks!

I'm pulling the trigger....got my appointment for tomorrow to have Xpel put on the hood! I'm a lousy painter! I think a very very fine brush would work better.....toothpick didn't seem to take very well. Will try again...

3M delay
