this may be a dumb question but anyone know of anythign other then touch up paint to cover stone chips?

also anyone know a website were you can get that coloured kinda bra for the hood... but its not a bra its kinda of a stcky sheet that you lay on the hood of the car and it matches the colour of the car?

today i looked at my red SS and noticed one big stone chip and some small ones and now i dont know if its best to get touch up paint or if there is a better way to cover them up?

 

Drive soooo fast that the paint in front of the chip starts to melt into the chip....

lol touch up paint is tough when its that deep...

one idea that I ahve used is doing tough up paint thand then buffing out that spot until everyhting lays smooth

then some wax and its perfect

 

thanks alot man so u dont know were to get that plastic cover for the front?

 

you better get a clear bra/mask for front end i may get one once im 300 whp im close
estimated 235 hp im gettign dyno done soon to see what i trully am! PSI FI needs to hurry with the 18 PSI kit so i can get 300 whp already!

 

yea thats what i want the clear one i just dont know were in toronto i can get it...

 

Try Thornhill Tint. Did a search and found a couple forums where guys got them there.

 

I'm not a big fan of the clear bras. Sure, they do a good job of protecting the hood and front but over time, the paint in the unprotected parts will fade while the protected parts won't, leading to a two-tone coloured car.

 

yea but i heard thats the 3m one you get fades with the colour of the car ... or thenthere the coloured plastic ones you can get that match the colour of the car

 

It's called Clear Shield and you can get from a place called Pro Tint in Oshawa!!!!!!

 

Hey man check this out, its exactly what you need to fix rock chips yourself:






I've used the kit, and it works pretty well. Its about $13 at your local Walmart or Auto parts store, go pick one up try it out

As for preventing future chips, hard to say whats best. The professionally installed clear plastic should protect well. I've seen it in person, and its almost invisible unless you look closely. I don't think it will fade the paint either, since its clear and won't trap moisture.

 

know any places closer to toronto woodbridg, brampton, R-hill, maple etc lol

 

thanks alot man whats that stuff called i cant really make out the name from the pic

 

No prob

Its called "Dupli-Color Scratch Fix 2in1 Premium Touch-Up Repair Kit"

 

I'd like to see a picture of one of these on a Cobalt....

Sounds like a truck bug deflector.

 

I'm sure that alot of other tint places can get this but Oshawa isn't that far from T.O. 15 mins from Scarborough. I'm sure that this is what you've been talking about. Why not give them a call?

 

you have the #?
