Hey yall, so with the crazy rain here in California ive gotten so many rock chips it looks like my car has acne.

Anyone know of a place that does paint correction and PPF in the San Fernando Valley/Ventura County?

I only plan on just doing paint correction/ppf on the front bumper. If this has been mention I could you please link me?

From experience, I'd definitely recommend front bumper, partial hood and front and rear flanks behind the wheels if you're ever going to run wider than stock or spacers.

Lower fender and rocker panel area. But if your car is already rock chipped, why not just cope with it until it gets worse then respray before filming.

Plus I rather deal with it before it gets worse, its not so bad.

A compromise could be getting a paint matched touch up kit + touch up lacquer, then PPF over it, will still be far improved especially from a distance šŸ‘€
Yeah Ive recently bought the Touch Up Paint from Speed industry.

I just wanted to see if i can find some who specialize in this stuff since I'm not so confident.

I highly recommend paint touch up kits from Dr colorchip and Scratches Happen. Iā€™ve used both and they are fantastic and easy to use despite their relatively cheap price. If I were you, Iā€™d try this route first and then ppf over it if you like it. If you donā€™t, itā€™s not a ton of money wasted and you could have it respirated. The only thing is, a lot of PPF will peel up paint on a respray when PPF is removed in the future. Itā€™s a pretty common thing. So just know that and be prepared if you decide to go that route if you plan on keeping the car long term.
