Default Peel Coat ???

92 Coupe , Black Rose.....the front nose piece is pretty stone chipped up... rather than getting it prepped and repainted I was thinking about maybe doing the front nose in Peel Coat possibly Matte Bklack.
Any opinions, any one ever do it and if so any pics.
Thanks

I don't think you'll be happy with it. It'll look like you were to cheap to paint it correctly. Paint it to match and you'll be better off.

I agree w/ painting it. Black Rose is so beautiful...and RARE too! Mat Black would BUBBA the hell out of it. JMO.

Paint it and put a clear bra over the front of the car. You won't have to worry about rick chips and the car won't look like something out of Mad Max.
