Angry First Ding

Brand spanking new two months ago.

Rock chip passenger A pillar. Down to the metal and what concerns me is that it's right on the crease.

Any ideas? Don't think touch-up is going to work.

Ouch - many more to come i bet - not necessarily on A-pillar, but definitely on your front end. I don't know how to fix it, but I'd recommend getting a full frontal clear bra once it's fixed. I had mine done when I got it June 2014, and I swear it's worth every penny.

Inevitable I know, but dang. The three stage paint and the location really present a problem.

Looking at protection options.

Yeah, that would drive me bonkers. I would just use touch-up paint as a temporary fix, at least it would look better than seeing the metal and won't be as noticeable... I wonder if you can place touch up paint a few times/layers to make it thick enough to fill it up? I got my first ding too on my rear. The way it looks is as if someone took a dull nail and hammered it in. Ugh...
