If it's right off the assembly line new, sure, wait a month or so. But this car was built at the end of 2012.

For the price of a clear bra, you can have the whole bumper repainted...

not if you're constantly repainting the bumper after every snow season.. in my case, being that I never drive my Z according to you guys, I shouldnt have an issue.

Well that depends on the individual person. If you're gonna have it repainted after each little rock chip then it's not worth it. If you do it after a while and having a bunch of rock chips and stuff then it's better.

Ron put me on to Dr. Color Chip and I have been using that to clean up some road rash and somewhat large chips on my front bumper. **** works like a charm!

Maybe get it fully painted one day but for now, this is the bomb-diggity!

Received my Black Cherry kit and I'll be doing that to my bumper, hood and fenders this weekend. So, it performs as advertised?

Khoi - Sorry for continuing to MAZOC the thread. I'll get back on track and say that I can't make it to your event this weekend, but I may have to try and get by your shop one of these days! Little bit of a drive for me. I live near Dulles Airport.

You'd be surprised what you can get off of a car with a clay bar after being transported by truck/train and sitting on a lot for a couple-few months.
