Mine is Black so every time I wash it all I see is the rock rash
Really don't see it unless you really look hard, then... there it is
If I were to paint it, wouldn't it happen all over again
sounds silly but paint ain't cheap

The hood was fixed had a deep gouge in it , the front nose and the front fenders were taken off and painted individually, the mud flap holes in the front were filled in and any scratch's were buffed out and then blended in somehow , the rear holes were plugged and the painted over , 1600.00 was total. im happy cant say it was a deal but im good with it , the anv paint is not easy from what im told 3 layers ,

WOW, I would be double nervous to get vandalized again. It will be a real magnet for vandals now. Better get it real dirty before parking unattended. Ask me how I know as have been keyed twice before. I swear vandals would push me away from my car to key it.
