M7 lower grille owners

I was wondering if anyone has chipping problems on their m7 grille... i ordered this about 9 months ago from ese and it was perfect...

today, im seeing more and more chips in the powder coated grille... and its causing some concern...even tho it says it is galvanized steel, i wonder if there's any paint i can touch it up?

ill take a picture of it when i get home

Hi there...

The powder coating is extremely durable compared to paint, but the reallity is
that daily driving is hazardous to your cars paint or the powdercoating on the
Ultimate grille.

If the grill starts to rust we will take the grill back and fix it at no cost.
For paint chips I recommend a semi gloss enamel as it does the job beutifully
and it will stay on the chiped spot as good as the powder coat..

Hope that helps, but feel free to call us with any questions, as we are here for situations like this....
