Re: Dealing with rock chips
So, I ended up taking the car to the lowest bidder. He covered the front bumper and edge of the hood with SolarGard Clearshield Pro film and charged me $450. It is nearly invisible...except that the Mach 1 has the hood decal that GTs don't and there was nothing he could do except cover up the lower half of the decal with the film. It would have been too difficult to cut the film to fit around the decal and make the edges all look nice. So, the end result is that 1/2 of my decal is matte and the other half appears glossy now.
But, like he said, I'd rather have a glossy looking decal than one beat all to heck by rock chips.
I wish I had done this the week after I had the front end painted. Sigh... live and learn.
