i took my girl for some ice cream last summer and as we are standing in line a freak hail storm hits with decent sized hail raining down bouncing off my beautiful car and im forced to watch in torture

I've seen the effects of a hailstorm, it's absolutely terrible and even seen dents caused from it, fortunately not my Z. I was just saying better as in worse lol

Saw this nice big paint chip on my hood today... It's right down to the metal.

I think I'm gonna have to invest in some Dr. Colorchip, or similar. Thoughts, recommendations perhaps based on experience?

Yeah the chips hurt. I have small ones that nobody but me would notice on the bumper = don't care its plastic, but I also have 2 on the hood =

because I drive way behind others. every chip i Have received came from a pebble that get shot out from cars driving parallel to me

yah, especially in traffic there's really not much you can do. even if one is 3-4 car lengths behind, a rock can kickup from the OPPOSING lane... (this is wat happened to my G 8yrs ago only one week after taking ownership... it's on my front bumper as well.

)

You guys will know when the testing is done...

The cool thing about my Z/28 is that although the paint looks killer from 4 feet away, it is 28 years old, and all my money got spent on handling horsepower and engine horsepower, in the last three months..I dropped it off in Zdecember for the Vinnie Diesel treatments..

Sure i will never park in a parking stall , and i park WAY out in the parking lots, but first chips happened in 1985, hahaha..

Ho hum. My Z's are sitting at home all bundled up. I saw a yellow 370 driving around in Draper, Utah yesterday. I waved, but got a weird look. Maybe it was due to me driving around in my sweet rental Sentra.

I have 1 or 2 small ones like that on my hood.. I cringe whenever I see them, but I tend to ignore them. I haven't touched them up with anything..
