It's the "new car curse" everything happens to a brand new car when you first get it. You can only hope, when it does, it's not that bad. lol

If you go online there are a lot of companies that sell touch up paint. I bought a Kona blue touch up paint pen and a clear coat pen.

X2 on the ford touch up paint. It always matches pretty well. I got a rock chip on my new boss at 500 miles. After that touched it up and had a clear bra installed. These cars seem to chip really easy.

Those are the brush on types, right? The ones that ford charges a small fortune for.

Weak paint.

I got some touch-up paint and clear coat from automotivetouchup.com. Perfect color match. The clear coat helps hide the touch-up, but rock chips still stink.

The first one is the hardest....I've had my 2011 for about 5 months now, driving almost 200 miles round trip a day on the highway. The weekend "dab" on the new chip has become a ritual. Short of buying an ugly bra to help prevent some of it, there's just no avoiding it for me.


I bought my factory touchup paint off of ebay. It's the Ford stuff, shipping was free, and cheaper than my dealer.
