I Hate Shopping Carts! - Honda Pilot

stmc378 · 08-12-2007, 08:02 AM

Or, at least that's what I'm guessing I hate. I went out to my Pilot in a parking lot yesterday to see paint missing in chips from my bumper on opposite sides of it. It is almost as if two people slammed carts into it on opposite sides. Needless to say, I was pretty furious since it's only about 4 months old and I've been seriously babying it (parking a mile away from the door and so on). Anyway, I ordered the touch up paint from the dealership yesterday, and now I'm just waiting for them to get it in stock.

The paint that came off acts like really latex paint, as in it is very rubbery and seems like now that it has come off I could peel off the whole rest of the bumper way too easily. So here is my question, Does anyone have any suggestions regarding application of the touch up paint to try to get it looking at least almost good as new?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you,

Where I usually park, I'm more likely to see a tumbleweed than a cart. Well, you get the idea anyway.
