- Well, it happened! My 8-month old 92' Eagle Talon is new no more.
- I was driving in a cross-country trip these holydays (Boston -> Colorado)
- and the car paint was destroyed. I was driving along I-80 when all of the
- sudden this dump-truck opened up and started trowing pebbles into the road.
- I assume this was for ice control. Anyways my car was showered in the stuff
- before I could get away.
-
- My hood is now full of hundreds of nicks. The car is black and the
- metallic/white nicks are VERY visible. I have decided not no paint the car
- since I know it will just keep on happening, winters in New Englad are very
- hard on cars. So I have to 'fix it' so it is not as obvious...
-
- Has anyone had any experience with any products to 'fix' (cover-up)
- the nicks? I was planing on:
- 1. Place coat of Primer
- 2. Paint black
- 3. Add clear-coat
- 4. Use rubbing compound to smooth it out.
- 5. Probaly get a bra (kind of late.. :-( ) to coverup the worst part of the
- hood....
-
- Please if anyone has done this before and gotten good results I would appreciate
- any help possible... Also were can I get the right stuff (primer, paint, clearcoat, etc.)
- Does anyone know of a book on how to do this kind of repair?
-
- Thanks...
