Dayum, I like that a lot! How much would a paint job like that cost? Thanks for the screen saver

 

Bring your check book. But if you want the best this is the place.

I can vouch for them.

 

flat black looks sick, but when someone with greasy fingers comes up and touches your car its gonna suck.

 

ehh im not gonna repaint it.. im just gonna get an insurance claim for a front end repaint, maybe get a CF hood and maybe some wide fenders (i need them)

 

I feel your pain. I have rock chips all over the hood, A-pillar, gas door, windshield, and the roof!

 

If you clear it right then its not a problem.... there was a flat black evo done right at EVOD and you could wipe off the finger prints like a standard gloss painted car....

 

It does suck. I have several nice chips in my bumper and hood and 2 nice "pops" right in the front windshield too.

Oh well, what can you do. Save up cash and when it gets bad enough, have the whole thing painted and a new windshield put in.

 

You guys should look into professional touch-up painting. I had it done to my black S2000 and it came back looking nearly perfect. Basically, they cover the front end in paint and squeegee it off; the paint only bonds to the sharp edges of the rock chips. I wish I could describe it better or give you a more technical name for the process, but thats all I can remember. I had it done at the same shop in MN that did my PDR and clear-bra: http://www.dentkraftpdr.com/
If you can't find any info about it locally just give them a call and I'm sure they'd be willing to at least tell you what exactly the process is called.
