got scudded by a garbage truck - paint chip damage

[stoneweed1]

driving up the highway to work this afternoon when a garbage truck 30-40 feet ahead of me just spilled out a huge load of rocks/dirt onto the road.....my relatively new vehicle took a huge load of the rocks and i knew i was struck relatively hard by these rocks. Tonight i examined the damage........NUMEROUS (more than 50) small paint chips on the hood/front bumper......unbelievable!!!!!! I didn't have any (well...maybe one or two really really small ones) prior to today. i am disgusted....it looks horrible.

any advice?.....i've comtemplated 3M invicishield but after numerous posts, i decided against it.

i'm going to call the garbage company, but i doubt they'll do anything - didn't a plate # cuz i was behind it and immediately slowed down. on my black car, the paint chips look horrible

I feel for you. That rat bastard - and he probably laughed while cruising down the road. The ignoramous.

That is too bad you didn't get he truck's plate - you probably could be compensated for that.

Probably, you're only alternative would be to have those areas repainted. Since you state that there's more than 50 paint chips I highly doubt that touch-up paint, even if applied by a professional would be satisfactory especially on black.
