Default Chips in Paint

Hey Guys,
I just got my first 350z 3 days ago and I just cleaned and waxed it and put armor all all over the interior and I noticed while I was waxing that there are alot of chips in the paint. Theese chips are tiny, there are about 20 of them, the smallest is about the size of a pencil tip and the largest is roughly the size of a pencil eraser. I really wanna go get theese fixed so that the car is good as new but I have no idea how much it will cost, anybody have any idea??
Thanks Alot

After you have the nose of the Z repainted you might want to have a clear bra installed. Or neVER drive behind anybody anytime eva.

Cost depends on how much of the front you're getting repained. Front bumper? Hood? In any case, you're looking at several hundred dollars. Of course, you can find somebody to do a half-ass job cheaply or get a expensive high end paint job. It depends on where you go and who you talk to.
