: Paint chips/scratches on sideskirts

Hello folks,

I wanted to ask you guys about the paint fix options I can do for my Evo X. I looked over the long thread over at Evom though it seemed like a long list of rants and complaints rather than solutions.

I do not have any paint chips/scratches yet on any section of my car other than the bottom or underside of the sidesill extensions. I guess this is a good thing since the '10 models had further extensions, thus preventing more scratches on the rear doors and panels.

Still, I'd like to ask what you guys would recommend I do. There are many paint scratches ranging from 1 in to 3 inch all on the underside of the skirts so really it's not an issue unless you look directly under the car. However I don't want to wait until all of the paint is completely stripped from that area to take any action.

I'd rather not use mudflaps, so I was wondering if there were any specific paints and applications I could obtain, since I'd rather just 3M tape (or something similar) the bottom of the sidesills after the touchup.

Thanks guys.

get the whole sideskirt 3m clear bra on it. It's probably going to have to be custom cut but it's some great stuff. I have my whole front end covered in it the first week I bought the car and 9000 miles later not one scratch, or rock chip on the front.
