Post by Strobo43 »

Got my first chip on edge of day.. 3 weeks old and 475 miles. Checked for paint at Advance Autoparts today when i ordered my Advanstar stone guard, no colors list for Vibe yet....Is the dealer the only choice?

I got some from the dealer. it was only about $6 for a small bottle that comes with a brush inside. from past experiance it lasts a long time there are alot of "touch-ups" in that little bottle.

WOW, sorry, I did not realize how tired I was last night. the chip is on the edge of my DOOR, Advance Autoparts does NOT stock Vibe paint, and the Bug/Stone guard is mase by Adventon.com which I ordered(not in stock) from Advance autoparts ($40.00) "Got my first chip on edge of day.. 3 weeks old and 475 miles.

Hiya...Soon after I noticed my first 3 chips I went to my salesperson and asked him to get it for me. I'm not sure if this works the same everywhere as it does here but... ya go to the salesperson and if it's not an expensive item or something that normally wears, they tend to try to get it for you for nothing. No cost to me for the touch-up paint. A perfect match. Talk to your Salesperson and see what they can do...Dave
