[JWalk1818]

Well I was on my way to work today and I was behind a garbage truck and it had mud all over it and a big piece of it came off and hit my front piece. It knocked 3 chips out of it right where the 2 pieces meet. So guess im gogin to need a repainting.

You can fix this your self for about $20 as long as that is the factory paint that you have on the airdamn.
In your photo it looks like your car is still factory white. If it is then duplicolor sell a paint that is a exact match.. can't remember the name I think is is the Import white "Polar" but am not sure..NEwayz

Always wet sand primer and paint

Sand down the area (300-400grit) where the chips are so the piece is nice and smooth.... be sure to mask off areas that you don't want affected by doing this. Use a sanding block.

Primer the piece with an automotive primer. Do 3-4 layers of this.

Sand Primer (300-400grit) with a sanding block until the primer is flush with the original paint.

Paint 4-5 coats of Duplicolor... sand with a sanding block (800-1000grit) inbetween coats... be gentle.

Paint with clearcoat 3-5 coats... until it matches original paint.. Allow to cure for 48 hours.

Use rubbing compound to smooth the new paint into the original.

buff using wax.

This works really good but takes a little time.
