Default Stone Chipping

A word of caution: Be sure the truck you're coasting behind has splash guards.

How would I go about repairing this kind of damage on my car?

That's one of the main reasons I don't draft.

I'm not sure of the extent of your damage but they do sell some colored wax "lipstick" which fills pits in paint.

I've used one in many areas of my Grand Caravan and most of the time the hole dissappears.

Hi Cousineau:

___You might want to consider 3M’s Clear Bra. It doesn’t matter if you draft or not, the front end of your automobile will always get pelted and will almost always end up with a chip or two. The Insight never drafts yet has a few small chips. The Ranger drafts 50% of the time and not a nick or chip to be seen. The Corolla, maybe 3 or 4 small chips and maybe 25% of the time in a draft. The MDX about 10% of the time and not a chip. I have an Air deflector on her however …

___Good Luck
