My mechanics son had the same 04 RSX. The nose on his car got the same sand blasting. He had it painted and within a year it was bad again! The cars were both black and from what ive read; Black Acura paint chips easily. Actually the ONLY cars ive ever owned that had exceptionally strong paint were Mercedes.
