Paint peeling/chipping on '02 LX?

Hey all,

Is anyone else having a problem with paint peeling on or around the bumper? I'm also getting annoyed by the fact that it seems that the paint chips quite easily on the plastic parts of the car, especially the bumpers.

Does anyone have any products to recommend to fix these chips?

sorry to know that. but my 02 lx is still ok. i only had it for two months though, and keep it in garage as often as i could. you may want to go to your dealer for that problem. it is still under the warranty, if i m not wrong.

Yeah, I had the same problem on my car. It's a manufacturer's defect. Take it to your dealer, and they will fix it.

I notice my front bumper is horribly chipped. I'm not sure I can blame that on Honda. I blame it on the jerks in the gravel trucks that can't seem to keep the stuff from leaking out. My windshield looks absoultely horrible as well.

I heard some say once that cars driven on the the freeway a lot tend to be pitted in the front, and that is most of my driving.
