Paint chipping

[lilhomieb07]

So ive noticed some paint chippin off the front end of my car where the 2 teeth are on the ends and ive touched it up with the WA-8555 black touch up paint but then it just peels off and you can see the bare color any suggestions on that, would clear coatin it after the paint drys help at all?

Dunno, but I'll 2nd the question...

I'm bad about getting lil chips/dings...

My first RL I got a chunk taken out of front bumper when a loose hubcap(steel from like an oldsmobile or something) came flying at me on the highway... wedged up under the engine...
And this was 6 days after I bought the car...

I did a lil better on my 2nd RL...
made it 6 whole weeks without a nick... but then I went to a club and the parking lot was completely packed... so I drove around a few times... finally gave up and parked far away in some tiny compact car spaces
sure enough when i left the club there was a good old door ding on my passenger side and a scrape on my back right bumper corner
inconsiderate bastards....

so yeah, I know you can buy touchup paint from the dealer but if there's another easy method that would rock

I do have a small touchup can of blue paint from the old RL that I never opened... If someone wants it I'll send if you pay shipping

If the paint is chipping, you may have a bad primer when the company painted the car. I would take it back to the dealer if still under warranty and make them repaint it.

I dont think its a paint job or w/e, but ima try and put clearcoat over it after i touch it up and see if that help and NO more warranty for me, but w/e i do most my shit anyways i work at a dealer myself and i know how they work, they HATE warranty work, not saturn its toyota dealer.
