Thanks `Zach for your reply & what you are dealing with. It can be stressful to try and keep your ride chip `free & avoid parking lot dents +

LoL > Most dealerships >LOL> just want the least expensive cover `up that they can get....I think some use a kids coloring book paint*s (The kind that washes `off when it rains) >

Oh the chips really irritate me they can't be avoided most of the time. The dents however can be...i park as far away as I can everywhere I go in my Monte.

That is true. Luckily we work for a dealership that pays pretty decent for it to be done so it doesnt look tacky. We mix the paint and everything for the cars in the shop and if need be we can get the airbrushes out if the job calls for it

I have done chip repair and minor scratches but never one with that much damage. I would have repainted it.

That's about as good as it's gonna get without spending $900+ to get those 3 panels redone correctly.
