I took it to a place here called Maranello, who are known for doing exceptional paint work ... and, I just had the hood, the front fenders and the window posts painted grey (I will post a pic later) ... those areas had the worst of the rock chips ... the bumper needed paint too, but, I decided to hold that off until next year, because it was an extra $900 Cdn just to do that ... it was a good decision, because the car looks great, even without a newly painted bumper ... and, the paint, I was told, is actually "water based" because of environmental concerns ... and Im not sure about the painting stages ... regardless, the finish is fantastic, and, they matched it pretty well (dark grey) ... the irony of this story, is that my daughter's brand new silver Mercedes got scraped in a grocery store parking lot last week, and she's also taking it to Maranello, to get it fixed thru insurance! ...
