I'm now a fully fledged member of the stone chip club.

I got quite a bad one after about 2 months of ownership. It also dinked the metal - so touching it up is difficult.

There have been others (small thankfully) that have disappeared following touch up.

Washed the car today, and low and behold another one!

Honda really need to sort the paint issue - its unacceptable. My moms car (a Seat) is 6 months older and done thousands more miles - no stone chips at all. I leave a huge gap between me and the car in front and do few motorway miles.

My Alabaster Silver Civic looks patchy in electric light - the paint actually looks thin!
