I must have acquired 10% of my car's rock chips just from the past couple of weeks from this damn repaving project!

It takes maybe 20 minutes to do and that includes the time it takes for the paint to dry and to put everything away! Just do it!

Autozone or Home Depot have it! It's made by Dupli-Color! https://www.google.com/shopping/prod...24-_-203815260

You should see the front of my ZHP. Lower bumper and splitters. Pock marked like the moon. Got worse after my return from a Vegas trip.

I just picked it up from the body shop last night and need to get a new Roundel and put the grills in it still :)

Got the whole front end resprayed (hood, bumper, fenders) as well as the rear bumper from cars tapping it and the passenger side rear quarter from a bit of rust that was forming. I just need to do some detail work now to get a lot of the dust and compound off of things!
