Default Endura Bumper paint chip
A tiny, shallow not much larger than a pin head chip on an otherwise very nice Endura bumper. Any thoughts on repair / fix ?

No touche. Let it go. You can point the flaw out to all your friends.

Since you are in NY, the thermal changes may just bring on cracks that will make that nit seem invisible.

To be honest, rather than risk making the problem larger, you might want to consider one of those wax type products that try to match the paint color. They basically just fill the chip with a colored wax to make it less noticeable.

I'm with HIS, leave it alone. it's not going to rust, and anything you do will most likely draw more attention to it rather than the tiny spec it is now that no one will notice.

Holy OCD, lighten up! 99.9% of us with endura bumpers wish ours looked that good! Drive and enjoy as is!

Sounds like the PLAN. I wish mine was that good overall--but I think being Endura I'll leave well enough alone. Good decision.

what color is that car? From the picture it's difficult to tell (lighting, background) but it looks like a V code paint. True?
