As you all know our cars have really cheap paint. I washed my car a few days ago when i noticed the hood if full of little and medium sized paint chips, WTF!!My dad drives his M5 and X5 on the same road(I-4) everyday just like me, and the paint looks new with NO chips. The car is only 4 months old and it looks at this moment like it would need to be repainted Well, im debating if i should spend the money now and get it repainted or wait and buy a cf hood. What do you guys think? Anyone else have this same problem. Damn paint!!!!!!!!!!

 

Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood...IMO!!! But yea same with my hood and mine is only 2months old but if you looked at it you would probably assume ive had it for a year!!!

 

Ya, I'm having the same dilemma right now, paint chips ALL over the hood after only 4 months. I'm just going to save for a CF hood, because paint chips on black suck .

 

I just said the hell with it. As soon as you fix the rock chips on the hood you're gonna get more and be right back where you started (with less money, I might add.) I have so many paint chips on my car that I'm just going to get the entire car resprayed when I get tired of looking at them - all 62,000 miles worth of rock chips.

 

yea i have paint chip all over the hood of my car. I am thinking of repainting soon as well . If you find/know a good shop, let me know.

 

I've got paint chips everywhere, I just gotta deal with it.

 

I know of a really good shop here in orlando that has done paint jobs for my dads BMW's and they come out looking like factory. He quoted me $350 to do my hood. But, i think im just gona get a CF hood instead but it will match the cf lip i have. Pm me if you need info

 

When you paint it again you're just going to be even more pissed once it starts again.

 

Wont chip as easily with a new high quality paint job. Stock paint is caca. Everytime I color sand a part of the car I can see how cheesy it is.

 

Chips happen to all of us and it's not just mitsu. I had a wrx that I didn't even drive that often and the hood and front bumper were full of chips. I wouldn't repaint it cause I did that with the wrx and a couple of months later the chips were back. Bottom line if you use the car as a daily driver it's going to have chips.

 

I put a clear 3M bra, C/F hood, and C/F trunk on before I even had 250 miles on the car. Trying to save some of the crappy *** paint for when I sell the car.

 

yeah the paint does suck that's why my 2nd evo is white insted of black like my 1st evo.

 

haha wait til you see what it looks like after 2 years of daily driving. Im just happy silver doesnt show the nicks too much

 

I got a massive paint chip on my hood the day I got the car. Chips are starting to build up everywhere.....

 

Regardless, somthing is going to happen.
