pieces of rocks

17 years ago

When rocks hit the front bumper of your new car, what can be done to cover it? I have a VW bettle and I noticed a chip from a rock or something has knocked a little of the paint off (not very big,but it's there).

Are you just looking for touch up paint? Identifiy the color of your car and you can get a small bottle of paint to match complete with brush, kind of like a container of fingernail polish, at your VW dealer. Many auto parts stores, and some variety stores with an automotive section also have it.

3m makes a clear film that protects the finish, i think most detail shops install it, also i believe i read duplicolor has a spray on sheild, also thers those black or checkered vinyl masks that were popular on bugs years back.

Have you ever used Freecycle? Check out their website to give away stuff. I have obtained a few items from their local division. But hopefully someone in here will be snapping up your free offer! How sad that you have to let it go! Awwwwwww! Marly

t, You might ask this under the structures forum or landscape design. I don't believe there is an irrigation question in there. Even though I would dig a wider hole and a few more around the area to determine the extend of the subbase problem. GL Aloha

Scree just refers to loose rock that is not anchored in matrix. Many alpine plants on slopes have roots that just 'go with the flow' if a bit of the rock around them slides. This includes plants such as phacelia, physaria, many erigerons, crypto ferns and so on. These plants are the easiest to transplant as they are often displaced through slides, can have exposed roots and then re-root. Some sedums do better if the roots are exposed for a few days before transplanting as this is what they have evolved to do in their natural environments.

The are going to tell you its a "natural" product. You don't have a shot in the dark to get them to replace this. Rock crumbles, breaks and turns back into sand. Its the nature of stone. You can't tell from one pallet to the next or one box to the next whats inside. I am laying slate and each box is a complete surprise and doesn't look anything like the box before. They are not even all the same size making laying them very difficult. You can ask...but don't kick yourself too hard if they tell you no way....it is what it is. Good Luck.
