Got off from work & saw this...>:( **PICS**


After a ****ty day at work which I hate I got off when it was already dark and I was pissed off, saw my boy drivin downtown and turned him down an offer to go hangout cause I wasn't feeling up to it, I get home go straight to bed...Wake up to my dad asking "so who'd u hit yesterday" my heart sunk I run to the garage and thr I see it, my baby has a black eye, no note, nothing

I park rear in at work on the top floor of the garage and someone hit my JUST PAINTED front bumper! Didn't leave a note or anything







As some of you know, my job sucks & I get paid crap lately(This happened at the worst time) & I'm 16, repainting my whole bumper is not really an option, I was thinking DR COLORCHIP but I don't want my month old bumper looking like crap, anyone know of a place in the bay area or something that will blend/paint this one area for a decent price? I can scrape together a couple hundred bucks that just means I won't party as much or something but I can't keep seeing my car like that every time I walk up to it, especially since its on the front and people are going to think i did it >

From the pic it looks like surface damage to the clear. You might be able to get most of that buffed out.

^ It's definitely worth a try since it's practically free. Even if you can make it tolerable to look at, that would save you some $$ you can't really spare.

I was just looking at the chip-repair in the detailing section and that might work to fix this. It's either that or you spending $$$. Easy choice, imo.

I bet Scratch X will take that out and you will hardly see anything. I had the same exact thing and it worked.

Since the buffing didn't work, I would drive to Sacramento and take it to TNT, it shouldn't cost much. GL
