Oh man. My Cobra has BOTH swirl marks & paint chips AT THE SAME TIME and I love it! Any Guitar players out there? Fender makes a line of high-end guitars called "Closet Classics". They are new premium build Stratocasters that are aged and roughed-up ON PURPOSE to look like a well-worn, cherished, old guitar, while playing and performing like a new guitar. These are very expensive and they are covered with chips, cracks, and stains. They are very cool! And the best part is, if you accidentally make a nick, chip, or scratch in it, nobody will ever notice because it makes it look better! Now call me weird, but I really like a Cobra that looks like it has been around the block a few times. Chips, scratches, dents (oops, fiberglass does not dent) and blemishes add to the character of a loved herloom car. Car guys call chips and scratches damaged goods and promptly get them repaired. I call them badges of honor. -John
