I have a black 2001 with 27,000 mi. Obviously, black is great at exposing every minute imperfection in the paint and with 27,000 mi the paint is not perfect.
Recently, I had the help of Vytas (highly recommended) to work on my paint (clay-polish-touch up-wax) with great results. However, now that the car is really clean and free of swirl marks, the chip marks that are too small to touch up are very visable. The hood looks like it has dust on it, but when you try to wipe it away you realize it is paint damage.
I think the car is too new to have clear coat problems. Does anyone have suggestions for repairing? If re-spraying is my only option, what are the caveats? Does anyone have an idea of the cost to re-spray the front? Any recommendations for paint shops in Northern California?
Thanks for your suggestions.
