Rock pits in paint on nose of Camaro

I got my new Yellow Camaro. Only had it for two months and it's my daily driver. I'm already noticing at plenty of little black spots on the front bummer where the pretty yellow paint is getting chipped away. What does one do to repair these? This car is my pride and joy and want to keep it as nice as possible.

Your options:

1. Never drive it
2. Pay $500 now and get a clear bra (then worry about bug guts staining it)
3. Wait a couple years. Drive it in the meantime and enjoy it. Then pay $500 and get the front fascia re-sprayed.

There are numerous films that won't stain. Instead of making a broad statement based on limited knowledge you might want to research a little next time. Avery Nano Fusion and Xpel Extreme will not stain. Other films could but if you use a good sealant on the film it will not stain.

I paid $450 to repaint mine and had a Nano-Fusion clearbra installed. $1300 dollars later and she looks better then new.

What about Venture Shield?

I still have some of their Clear Polish left, so I use that. Adam has told me that the Fine Machine Polish will do a great job on clear bras.
