benjaminh2 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 So i finally got my butt in gear and dropped my SS off to be painted this a.m. the bumper cover, grille, and leading edge of the hood were pretty rock chipped from its 2 yrs as a daily driver. so i figured i'd have the whole nose painted and while they were there, do some custom airbrush work on the hood. should be done middle of next week and i will post pictures!

Wizard Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Why don't you get the paint protection film. 3M, Ventureshield, or any other. I have had it since new and not a single chip. Really is good stuff if installed by a good installer. Well worth it. Wiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
