Default General question- paint

California roads... rocks, dust... Does Suabru cover the paint on the STI for a specific amount of time or are chips and pits from freeway driving all on my dollar?

I'm going to take my car in to get the motor mounts switched and wanted to see if itwas even worth trying top get them to look some of the chips in the front hood.

I'm pretty sure the only paint warranty you'll get is rusting from the inside out under the paint. Subaru can't really be held liable for all the rocks that get kicked up on the hood and what not.

They should with how crappy this paint is. I dont even think a clear bra would work with what they use on the roads up here.
One of the very few things I dislike about Subaru
