I am not supposed to wax the bumpers for at least a month while the paint cures.

My eyes can't tell the difference between the new and old paint, so I think they did a good job. They resolved my problem in just a couple days and gave me a free loaner car while they did.

I am satisfied. Good luck to everyone else!

i replaced my headlights with black headlights, i noticed peeling in my front and back bumpers awhile ago. will they void my warranty on the paint because i replaced my headlights due to the fact that you have to take off the bumper to put them on?

i am just worried they are going to say i caused the peeling

i'm seriously confused........ years of the paint problem have now come and gone and honda has not gone back to the drawing board to prevent this from happening in the first place........ so i could only assume the paint peeling/bubbling/globbing doesnt actually happen all that often. but that seems to be nothing more than wishful thinking on my part.

I just washed my fit and noticed that the passenger side corner had a little chip. I took the bumper out a bit and noticed that there was some wrinkled paint near the edge. The other 3 corners were fine. I touched it up and bought some really thin washers. It looks good...there is a gap now where I can stick my finger nail in the gap.

My only concern now is that I used stainless steel washers. Should I search for aluminum or plastic washers?? (Since stainless steel is harder.) Thanks FF!

i stuck some electrical tape because i bought rubber washers and they were too big. dunno if it works well though because it already peeled alot

I have been debating on what kind of shims to use since I have had the front bumper repainted.

Told my dad and he thinks that I should look for some nylon bushings or plastic washers. He didnt really like the idea on putting something metal against any of the metal panels of the car.
