well today i went to go get gas in my car, well when i went to move all i did was spin tires, i had ice under my driverside wheel, well i found that if i put the car in drive it would pull forward a bit and i could try and turn my wheel where i could get off the ice, well i didnt realize how close i was to my garage pillar and rubbed it, how bad does the damage look?

 

pic is too small but from what i can see, it doesent look too bad..

 

ill see if i cant inlarge it

 

 

From the pic, it looks like a touch-up job---
As long as there are no dents // cracks in the plastic & rubber.

 

Looks like a kink in the nose because the hood/fender/nose isn't lined up. Need a better pic.

 

Hard to say from the blur but it just lloks like a lot of paint transfer. Pillar was white?
CAn't tell if there are any cracksin the paint but you should be able to clean the white off. Laquer thinner, fine rubbing compound, what ever wax or polish you may have around.

 

If you know what you are doing you can wet sand a lot of that out if it's just paint transfer. Of course try a less aggressive rubbing compound first. As long as the plastic itself isn't damaged and the paint underneath is okay it won't be too bad. Itherwise, you're looking at repairing that bumper cover.

 

thats a different hood, i put it on myself so its not aligned right anyways, ill try and get a better picture tomorrow after school, yes the pillar is white, i took off the clear and the paints spider webbin out alittle like its cracking and i can feel the pain on the bumber, im getting the car painted this summer so i just needed to make sure this is horrible bad till then, ill get a better picture tomorrow.

 

Looks like $1000+ of body shop work or if the car is not worth it don't do anything.

 

If you're getting it painted then the shop will just have to sand and feather where the paint cracked and prime it.
Bu you should be able to clean off that white so it does not look so bad until its painted.

 

With Clear coat paint you cannot just blend in a small area....

 

WTF are you talking about??? Do you even know!

 

YES..Do you????

 

Not sure you do. Small blends with BC/CC are very easy to do.

 

 

Exactly!
What does that other person think us Auto body technicians do when we paint a quarter panel. Paint the quarter , across the roof and down the other quarter because you can't blend the cear!

 

sorry guys i couldnt get a better picture, i was doing some work for my grandma since my grandpa passed away so when i got home i didnt have day light, i didnt ream it or anything i was just simply rubbing it, i can feel the white paint ontop of the red paint, my step dad said it could just buff out.

 

I agree with step dad. Get the white paint off, and the spider cracks wont look so bad

 

yeah, the cars kinda multi colored, the driver side mirrors blue since the original was busted and all i had was a blue parts car, and my low rise spoiler is burgandy, but like i said my grandmas painting it for me so i wont have to deal with it long, i need a garage
