Paint chipping on my red smart

flpat · 03-09-2009, 05:02 PM

Has anyone had this problem? I know that I drive 95 here in Florida but it is getting really bad. Do you think they have touch up paint yet? I am looking at the clear bra but would need to fix all the chips first. Do they sell a front panel or do you have to buy all the panels. This is the 08 and worry because the 09 is a different red. I am going to try and call the dealer again, no answer today and I really noticed it while giving the smart its bath today.

Paint Chipping? Don't you mean Paint dents or something. Solid panel so no clue how to chip it. I do have one mark that I seen while washing mine. But it is bound to happen. All roads have friggin rocks on them.

You are in the jungle

- he said 08 (metallic painted red), not 09 (ralley MIC red).

I recommend a new panel and a 3m clear bra.

And you might check your windshield for chips.
