look at the paint...this thing just cracked off like it was nothing. we looked at the paint and it seems to be on like a fiberglass filler?????? i dont know can someone explain this to me?? there definatly isnt ANY primer on the sheetmetal as you can tell from the picture.

Stealth has been hit before there and that looks like body filler. That stuff just pops off if hit again so who knows what kind of damage was there already.

Oh well, look at this an opportunity to learn some simple auto body skills. The damage done is really quite minor on both cars, so get a buffer, some bondo and some rattle cans and have at 'er.

This is great stuff to learn on. When it comes out looking new, you two will feel pretty good about it

well i dont think they are gonna like the suggestion of us fixxing it ourselves with bondo and spray paint. im gonna see if hell let me and my dad do the body work, and a friend of mine paint it....well see, my dad doesnt know about it yet. since it looks like there has been work already done to it,,does that mean we have to take differant steps to fix it then if it was a freshly dented fender?

Fattie,
