paint chips by 151ranch

I have rust spots from chips also... but it is quite obvious that the rust occurs where the paint is missing. Are you trying to say that there are rust spots on top?
 
Honda's paint quality is less than average. It has been my experience that Honda products scratch and chip very easily, especially with the TSX's hood.
 
If the rust occurs where the paint is chipped, I really don't think Acura is going to help you.
 
What color is your TSX? Because it seems like the Carbon is particularly susceptible

"Maybe you should work for the dealer; you sound just like them. It's rust.
 
Maybe you should work for a tort lawyer, you sound just like them. It's somebody's fault.
 
If you come out of the mall and discover the car that was parked next to you left a 4" gouge in your door, should Honda replace your door under warranty? If neighborhood kids egg your car and destroy the paint on the left front fender, should your Honda dealer refinish your fender for free?
 
Rocks hit your car and penetrated the clearcoat, paint, and primer - leaving the bare metal underneath exposed to the elements. Your problem is that you drive a car made out of metal, and rust never sleeps.

I'm looking for some advice here; not some annoying diatribe from someone pushing business to a website selling paint repair items.
 
Do you even own a TSX?

Yep, there are rust spots on even the smallest chips on the hood. I have heard that the paint quality for Honda products wasn't the greatest.
 
I have the Satin Silver color.
 
Thanks for the feedback.

"I'm looking for some advice here."
 
You're not looking for advice, you're looking for someone who will agree with you.
 
I stated my honest opinion and provided some suggestions on how you might fix the damage (with a hot link and photos even!). And really, if you snub folks for being honest and trying to help, nobody's going to come forward.
 
Oh well, since the Griot products I suggested don't appeal to you, here are some other products that you might find helpful...
 
http://drcolorchip.com/ (haven't tried personally)
http://www.langka.com/ (haven't tried personally)
http://www.touchup123.com/ (this is the one I used on my car - see pictures above)
 
BTW, I owned a 2004 TSX, but I sold it 2 years ago because I couldn't stand living with all the rock chips anymore

Thanks for your response. I did take the car in and the dealer was able to put some felt between the passenger side "A" pillar and the dashboard (out of sight of course). No more rattling and I am really enjoying the car now.

i have a few chips on my milano red tsx but no rust (knock-on-wood) I agree honda paint is lousy. Our hyundai's paint seems to hold up alot better against those nasty road rocks.sorry do not have any solution for you. maybe a car detailer place could help.

Yeah, it's a shame; rocks and debris are inevitable if you drive on the expressway. However, rust should not happen after six months. I'm taking it to the dealer again today. Wish me luck.

i agree it should not rust. If the dealer does not have a solution for you I would suggest your contact acura customer service in california and complain to them. I wish you alot of luck. we owned a 03 hyundai elantra (red) that seemed to have alot less chips than our 06 milano red tsx (4 months old) and we basically drive the same highways.
