Ok, I got into a front end accident a couple of years ago and now my front bumper has a bunch of rock chips all over the place.

I wanted to ask you guys, if there was anyway you can prevent this from happenin again as it looks horrible when you get to the front of my car.

Thanks guys!

 

Man, i recommend getting a small tin of colour matched paint. I am lucky enough to still have the little touch up tin which came with the car when it was originally purchased from Honda. Every few months, after i have given the car a good wash, i apply small amounts of paint to the chips with a fine brush, then a couple of days later i give the whole car a good wax. IF you look really close you can see the touch ups, but unless you want to show your car, it does a great job of hiding the chips. If your bumper is in really bad shape, damaged etc, you could get a 2nd hand one and respray the whole thing. Good luck with it.

 

the only way to prevent it is by getting a bra, or putting some of the 3M body tape on there. its made to protect from bugs and stones but probably only stays clear for a few years.

 

put a bunch of coats of good quality wax on the bumper

 

wax doesnt stop rocks

Is it possible to reuse your damaged and chipped bumper? or would I have to purchase another one?

Thanks guys for the responses
