I have recently purchased a new Mazda 6 and to my horror after 4 weeks of driving I have noticed at least 20 stone chips on the front bumper.Has anybody had any problems with poor paint jobs on the front bumpers causing the paint to chip with ease.

 

I havent had any chippage on mine (knock on wood). I have a 2005 Mazda 6. I am on the highway a lot also.

 

Make sure they're actually stone chips... I thought I had a bunch right after I bought my '06, but it was actually white overspray (must have been painting a white car around my island blue one)...took it back to the dealership and they waxed it again, getting them all off... I was able to chip them off with my nail, which is how I realized it wasn't actually chips in the paint. It may not be your problem, but ya never know!

 

lucky man, i get a decent bit of chips.... i even saw a rock that seemed like it was in slow motion hit my hood and leave a nice 2 inch scratch on it.... and that was just last week *sigh*

 

I have taken my car into my dealer..in fairness they were very understanding to how upsetting the marks are but how willing they are to help will be one for future discussion after they have inspected the car further.
