Paint chips on my Civic TW!

mcbagel · 12-29-2009, 10:18 PM

Hey, just checked the car while I was washing it and under the driver side door, there are 2 moderate chips, see right to the metal. I had the car for not even 3 weeks now. I will upload pictures when I am done work, currently at work now. I haven't drove the car like a maniac, kept car clean. What could have caused this. I live on a dirt road which is like less than a 10 second drive. But I drive it slow.

Just happens when you drive man. I got my entire front end replaced and noticed a giant paint chip the day I brought it home to show my dad the new paint job. So between them test driving the car afterward and me driving it the ~10 miles home, it got hit by a little rock. Sucks but it happens. Looks terrible on TW, too

I have nhbp as well, and parts of my hood the black paint has actually come off and left blue spots in its place.(assuming its the fiji underneath). And I have the white moles like p1904 said. It's just driving does it to your car, no worries.

Yeah I went to Honda and bought myself the touch up paint. Up close you can tell it's painted, but from walking distance it looks fine.

7 bucks for the paint.

Couldn't it rust alot easier at the fact in that one section it's just...metal?

Get some touch up, it won't rust.

i commute 100 miles a day. I have the front bra and i have to say for 80 bucks best investment. Front bumper still looks like new. Only suggestion I would recommend.. dont drive so close to other people. Theres one lil chip I have that annoys me and its near my rear door pillar. No way to protect that but its such a random location.

had the same thing happen to both doors.... dang!! Used some Touch Up now you can't really tell.. Still sucks that the paint is sooo bad!

Could be worse, I have NHBP and some jerk decided to leave me a nice ding and white paint on my driver side door. Sucks
