Just got the vehicle back today. They repainted the entire front bumper cover and warranty'd the work so I'm definitely happy. They did say that there was a pinpoint rock ship at the edge of the peeling area but they couldn't say for sure if that was where it started or if it caused it.

The repaint looks good. And you said they didn't charge you?

I did not pay for the repaint. I did have to pay for a new trim piece because a tab was already broken from previously pulling too close to a parking curb and once they removed the bumper, it wouldn't be able to be put back on.

Now that the paint is restored. You going to do anything to protect it / maintain it? Looks great!

I'm considering the clear protective film for the front but not decided. I changed jobs and work less than a mile from home now compared to 20 miles each way before, so I am thinking that with less highway miles I will have less chance of rock chips.
