I'm not going to be driving my car too much until its installed (as I am getting my BRZ early next month) as I want the paint in the best possible condition before its corrected and then applied.

I have had several rock chips after having my car coated. The coat does basically nothing against a rock moving at those speeds. I will post a pic of the rock damage to my hood when I get home if you would like.

If possible, I'd like to see what the damage was, just to know what to expect.

I've had my 13 TC for less than 9 months (until I get my BRZ) and have had chips straight to the white metal area of the car. Some of these seem inevitable though.

Pic didn't really turn out so well but its the best I can do without a macro lenses.



I checked and the chip went though the coat, the paint, the undercoat and scratched the metal underneath a tiny bit.

touch up paint ? put a clear coat and repolish and rewax

If you're planning on doing both opti-coat and a clear bra? Would you guys recommend the opti-coat first? That seems like the logical answer..but i read people doing it both ways.
