painted plastic
I am going to post this here in hope of a few more resposes:
I was planniong on getting a 02-04 c5 z06 shortly after i graduate in december. what concerns me is that i currently work on the weekends as a car detailer and my paint is very important to me. I have noticed that plastic does not fair very well, My mom's 03 murano has about 60K miles and the front is pitted badly, not just rock chips or bug impressions, but dents in the paint and plastic. I also have the front plate filler off an 02 vette with 50K miles and it seems badly pitted.
So my question is how bad can i expect it to be on a car with 20-40 K miles? also would it be just the bumper or like the hood and front fenders and would it be hard to match if i got those parts painted? and how bad would it be on average behind the wheels? thanks

As far as how easy those parts would be to match...it depends on many factors including the color, the condition of the vehicles finish, etc.
