On my 5th gen's hood, there are white spots on the front where it meets the front bumper. What are these things and how can I get rid of them? I think they're scratches, because i tried to remove them with my fingernail and they wouldn't budge, hoever they are raised, so they're on TOP of the paint.



Also, I found a patch on my rear bumper, how fixable is this?

You have to repaint your whole rear bumper if you want that patch to be gone.

I think you can claybar the front, but I am not sure about that:thinking:

Supafly

well, that sucks, thanks for the info...

How much do you think a full paint job would cost if i wanted to change the color?

To get my back bumper repainted it was estimated for about $496 from the insurance.

those look like the same dots I had on my hood before I painted the car, mine were chips from rocks and crap hitting the hood over the years.

That's what i figured, Should I just get a bra and cover it up?

VRGNCD5

That's the cheaper way to fix ur problem. That's what I'd do, matter of fact, I'd like to get a nice skin tight bra for mine, just got it painted a month or so ago. I just don't want a bra w/those ugly triangle things at the top of it, know what im talking about?

Supafly

yeah, i know EXACTLY what your talking about, where can I get those skin-tights?

Do they look like this?

VRGNCD5

not sure where to get em at. but yeah, they kinda look like that, but ours covers the whole front bumper.

I have those same white spots on my hood and bumper. Its not chips from rocks, but now that I am writing this I am thinking it could be white paint from freshly painted street lines that got sprayed up by another car. Hmm... Anyway I tried a claybar and it didnt work. The only way I have been able to get them off is gently scratching them off with my fingernail.
