Someone had a link on some "drip touch-up" which I thought was pretty cool stuff. I thought about trying it. But I kinda like the look of the stone chips. Ever look at the front of a race car after a race? That there is genuine battle damage

I got 50 million chips, want some? Hell I hit a rolling ice ball last winter that didn't just chip the paint it F'd up my hood and bumper to the point it looks like I smashed a pole. Moral of my story is stay away from ice *****.

Dunno how I went off topic but sry back to OP subject.
