I need to get a touch up!

Ok i have a situation....I live in a very cold place called Alaska....Alaska does not believe in salt or liquid to get ride of the ice on roads...so instead the throw down gravel....little brown rocks....now these rocks are constantly getting tossed from other vehicles and hitting mine....and it doesnt matter how close or far back you are from a vehicle, your car still gets hit with these little freakin' rocks.

Now, i have a crack in my windshield going from one side to the next across the bottom of it...not only that, but im getting paint chips all over my two month old car...it doesnt even have 1,500 miles on it....and there are a bunch of paint chips...little white chips

Question is how would i go about stopping my car from chipping more or is there some kind of paint shop that could touch up the nick's and maybe put a thick clear coat on it.

Any suggestions whatsoever?

Well a front bumper bra would help but Im not sure if you would want a black looking front bumper.

after you get the paint repaired go here:

http://www.starshieldarmor.com/home/home.php

ask them if they make a kit for your car, and or get one made to your specs.. This stuff is amazing, and i have seen it up close...

Thanks

This is a paint pen from nissan ... one end is the color, the other is a clear coat. Works great for minor pain chips. Easy to use --

Im only gonna be in alaska for another year....but that is one full winter, so i would rather have it to stop the paint chips then to just let them keep accumulating.

I was quoted a price of 700 dollars with installation for both front and back bumpers.
I also was told that if you get hit on the bumper and you have a small dent this stuff is hard to take off.
If you are only going to be there for one more year I would suggest just the labra. I have one when I travel down to Florida. Alot of bugs.

Also kamilkluczewski has this bug deflecter for sale that might stop the gravel beforeit hits the windshield. PM him.

Good luck

The bra on my car. This was taken last year driving up to Orlando from Southern Florida with South Florida Maxima club members.

DO you have the same bra as ramberg? Cuz ramberg's looks good....do you have a pic of your bra and the price for it?

Ramberg do you remember the price of your bra?

Yes, i bought some about a month ago, becasue i have a few rock chips on my onyx -- and it cover well -- i know it's there but the regular people don't notice a thing. And for $15 bucks -- dealer paint and clear coat -- can't beat that!

I've got a few chipped spots in the front bumper. Will the touch-up paint be able to make them "disappear"? Thanks a lot!
