Trying to fix this myself and avoid paying 1200$ to have both sides repainted. The metal looks fine with a beginning or rust. I'm guessing the previous touch up attempt wasnt done correctly, the paint was flaky and fell off. I would like to hear your input. I bought spray can primer, BSM...

Happy day! Thanks for all the help!

So this is why it was so hard to book Lauren@Customrides for my 335! Awesome job on a nice project, both of you. I went there couple of times and I saw the ongoing project, was impressive. Good to see fellow Montrealers work their magic!

Finally got a chance to clean the car and look at the damage. Doesn't look so bad, might be able to do it myself. The biggest surprise now is the new scratches on the car, not sure where it's from... snowstorms, snow/ice getting plowed/pushed on the car, towing, other accidental events? Here's...

I am pissed, but just trying to do this as civilized as possible. I didn't get a chance to see him yet and didn't get the time to wash the car to see the real damage. Will probably see how much a professionnal repair cost. I doubt it's worth claiming insurance, I'll probably end up paying more...

Thanks for all your words, I'll wash the car this weekend and see if it's easy to fix. I'll probably post some pictures soon for advice. Of course not, I would never park next to a bunch of garbage!

I think you're right, it's not easy to claim repairs in a situation like this and also the damage isnt extensive, but it's ohhhhhhhh soooooooooooo frustrating! :bash:

No apparent body damage, just really deep scratches, almost like a squirrel decided to chew on the paint. :( The pictures aren't too sharp for you to see, but I have a clear bra on it and it ripped. Gonna have to replace it as well I guess. Edit: Also car is really dirty, we had a lot rain...

My not too smart neighbor put his old bed frames to the garbage and layed it there next to the fence. And because it was windy, it fell on my hood... I couldnt get the shots to reflect the actual damage, but I'm not sure if I should just try to repair it myself or take it to a pro and send him...

Same here, this is the reason I adopted ONR. In winter I go to the coin-op, use some 3:1 OPC for the wheels area, PW the wheel area, quick spray under the car, lower panels, crevices, then the whole car, finally get home for ONR 2BW. I wash the car weekly. I'm a bit weird out by the smell as...

How many 20"x20" sections I should do before changing the pad? I would buy a few more pads, so 4-5 cut, 4-5 polish and 3 for Sealant and Wax? I considered Dr.Colorchip, but was afraid I wouldn't match the color on the car. If it's that good and easy I would consider doing chip repairs before...

Is it necessary to use dawn or is ONR preferable? The goal was to safely strip the paint. I was thinking about using on the fly cleaning, but if I understand correctly, I should buy 2 more of each, do 1-2 sections then clean them and let dry. Put a new pad, continue, then repeat? Nice paint...

Hello all, I always took care of my cars, but all I knew about "detailing" was take the car to the car wash (hand washed or touchless) and voila, clean and shiny! Up until recently when I noticed the the paint on the car lost a lot of its shine when compared to newer cars. I began researching...
