Stone chips to 12 month old paintwork

Hi Guys

I had the bumper and bonnet painted last summer and the car has collected quite a few visible stone chips. The bumper and bonnet were painted using the non-baked method (I'm not sure how it works mind). Is this type of paint a lot softer than the baked paint?

I ask as I will eventually replace the bonnet as corrosion has come back again where I had cleaned it and treated it before getting it painted, and the bumper has a few marks on it following a small bump earlier this year.

Thanks

Hi

Nobody knows?

non baked is always softer, basically you are relying on the paint gassing out, which can take weeks to fully harden.

Yeah ideally you want to let the car sit for awhile in that instance. Mine was sat in a dehumidified lockup throughout the whole of winter. Very hard to mark it, even through general washing.
