my front bumper looks and feels like a mine field. the black under the paint sticks out like a sore thumb and the touch up paint with this color is a joke.
soon it will be time to repaint and follow that closely with the bra. it is almost funny to me to see how much better the front bumpers with clear bras on them are holding up.

Our 350 and Max have alot of nicks as well, I started recently keeping on the nose mask more than normal to hide the nicks. I have to get both front bumpers painted soon(clear bra as well), sad that we have to do that on 1 year old cars.

I do a lot of track events, and that is hard on the front fascia... lots of tiny little nicks in the bumper from track debris flinging up on the car. The hood is in really good shape, maybe two or three nicks from hiway debris.
If I had to do it all over, I'd have done the clear bra the same day I bought the car. Oh well... lesson learned.

I have the same plan in mind, just curious if you have a cost estimate to paint the front bumper.
Thanks , Rich
