I'm not sure re-spraying is a good idea...

If its super bad..then yea, maybe.

But... and obviously only "IMO" !

Given this VX is one of the few/maybe only production, non concept VX's that will ever
have any chance of reaching any "collector" status..
...and given the value of "original", it may not be a good idea.

Just a thought...

Jo - if you've got an extra hood you want to sell that might not be such a bad idea. The front lip is peppered with chips. It's bad enough that it bothers me but it could be left alone for future value.

I have the same issue so I put a magnet bra on the front and it looks great and I'm happy with it.

Sorry...no extra hood

The crashed VX I am parting out was a front hit.. so hood is trashed.

BUT..I do agree with Earl ( Mile High VX) about the magna bra.

The Proton I just purchased had similar bad nose chips...
...I got a magna bra to hide them AND further protect it.

How about trying some Dr. Color Chip? People swear by this idiot-proof stuff. Just a thought.

I wish it was that easy. The problem is there's a LOT of chips ranging in size from pin size rough spots to 1/2" chips (plus a couple of good scratches across the hood). There's probably 50+ of the larger size that Dr. CC could repair. At that point I might as well repaint.

My magnet-bra flew off at highway speed in Moab and ripped in half! Now I have a brand new in box full coverage Isuzu Vehicross bra that I never use Go figure
