I had mostly chips in the bumper and about a dozen on the hood of my
2002 sterling mist. I just recently had the hood and the bumper
repainted. The place I took it to is expensive but they did the
cleanest most perfect job I have ever seen. They also used 2 coats
of clearcoat. It's been a little over a month now and still not one
paint chip.
