Out of all the cars I've owned, my Z has the thinnest paint hands down. I've got more paint damage on it than my 3 yrs old Tacoma PU that I drive all winter. And I'm constantly waxing and maintaining the paint on the Z. I would have it painted and get a 3M clear bra installed. I had the clear bra installed when my car was new and I don't have any damage to the front. I did the whole front of the car, half way up the hood, and the mirrors. I wish I would have done the side skirts because the paint is completely chipped up on both side skirts. The color coat and clear on this car are really thin but the 3M product seems to hold up well. Good luck if you choose to have it repaired.

My GTI (4 year old) is almost totally free of chips, even on the bumper section. Seems like tough paint on that car. |
