Rock chips, etc kill me as well, but I always try to remember that more than likely no one else will ever even notice such minor imperfections, and if you're going to drive a car on the street, something will eventually happen
I agree no on else will notice it but I'm just frustrated that the damage was done by the installer.

You have every right to be, unfortunately it's hard to trust anybody these days to do things the right way. I definitely suggest always giving things a once over after you have work done

Agreed it was my mistake however nontheless the damage is done now my conern is finding someone who can do a good touch up job.

BTW the local Wheels works Manager has agreed to cover the cost of the fix.
