Salt n vinegar..?
With you chips..
Yea me's suffered the same fate, got a couple of crackers on my bonnet aswell and I'm affraid to say it stone chips I'm talkin aboot..!
The problem I fear is, that if I were to get a respray after a few more chips then the respray paint will be softer than the Honda factory paint plus the colour match can be a problem in silver..
Don't want it looking like a cut n shut..!
Resprays done at most all coachworks are done under human control ie a chap (or chapet) with a spray gun which tends to be given a thicker coat but hardened in a low bake oven for speed.
The end result tends to scratch easier and doesn't stand up to stone chips as well. The laquer tends also to be softer and can result in peeling after a few years or so just like the alloys we all moan about..
Maybe things have improved in the last few years since I had my Celica resprayed after it was scratched by a "low life pond living scum bag" but I fear it hasn't changed that much in 7 years..
Anywayz I'll see how longer I can put up with my Civic's spotty face before I take him for a makeover at the car clinic..!
Cheers...
