[QUOTE="kerry4, post: 184075, member: 5705"] I would suggest going to a pro detail shop. As stated you only have so much clear to work with. I had my NSX to a good shop and was amazed at what they did with my black paint. Remember they have access to products and chemicals not available to the public and the proper equipment. Plus they have the experience and know how deep to go and how much clear to work with. To me it was worth it. If you damage the paint theres no turning back if you were doing it yourself. Most good shops will be honest with you in what results to expect and will show you some of their other jobs they have done. Trust me its a lot cheaper than having your whole car painted if you damage the paint. Plus it will still be original. At least get an opinion and estimate. Then you can make a decision on what to do. Worse comes to worse they can frost the front end and make it look better. Had that done to my Tesla. The hood had lots of stone chips on it and with a light paint spray ( I don't know how they did it ) it looked just like new. Then I had 3M chip guard put on it to keep it that way. [/QUOTE]
