The idiot who owned my car before me scraped a guard rail... At least they painted it primer to cover the scratches... i would like someone to do like a black stripe where the scratch is (all the way down the side of the car in the middle) so I can see how it looks... do u guys think that'd be gay?

Thanks

Tom :lala:

don't do it man it would look absolutely horrible. get it done right and paint it the proper color. i can do the photoshop if you still want it

I agree, don't do it. Here's why :

well this is a 1 year solution until i can afford to paint the entire car... does it look AWFUL or is it "not too bad" personally i kind of like it...


Peace,

Having looked at it for a second time, I have to say I wouldn't describe it as "awful". I think it's one of those "I wouldn't do it to my car, but I wouldn't scoff at it either" things.

Whatever floats your boat, and other such cliches.

Do some kind of custome stripe, I made it red so it would be easier to see.

Tom,

The Dodge dealership in Springfield, VT is having a paint special right now. They'll paint your car for $500 (no bodywork included). So, depending on the condition your car is in it would be a quick and cheap way to take care of the "scrape". They painted my formula two years ago, came out great and still looks good. I paid much more than $500 though.

Rick

hey rick, what kind of work do they do? could i paint it a "pearl black" or a "metallic" black? what kind of paint do they use? could i have more metallic added and things like that?

Thanks,

TOM

i would sugest not doing it, if you want a temp fix just sand the car yerself, use some rattle can primer/ paint, heres how mine turned out after sanding and using rattle can primer, gonna paint it in a couple days

Tom,

They'll paint it any color you want. As with any body shop, if you want them to fix dents/scrapes it'll cost you more. It all depends on what you want to do with your car. If you are looking for a super cheap way out of it I would do as SydwayzTA 86 suggests.

It wont come out "show condition" but it wont come out have bad either, so long as you dont try and rush it, on primer i spent like $25 i think, and paint i'd be spending about another $45-50, it'll still look good
