Came back from class and...

I came back from class yesterday at night and saw this. The panel is kind of bent up too on top of all the scratches. Does anyone know about how much it would cost me to get it fixed? Any good shops around the Sac or Bay Area. I am currently going to school in UCD. Sorry if the pictures kinda suck they were taken on my phone.

I kind of tried didn't seem like it was coming out. I didn't really spend THAT much time on it but it seems like the paint is scratched off. The panel is also kinda dented up.

i thought the first picture was a picture of your truck that got stuck in a water half pipe. then i scrolled down some more and saw the OEM rims. but damn, i beat someone up whoever is eyeing the G like they was gonna do something.

Ouch. Looks like someone didn't know how to park.

The white will buff out. Someone did that to me in my old black car and it came out with a lot of rubbing. The only problem is the dent, if any, that you might have.

Hope you find a place and get it fixed.

I had a similar situation, first, use lighting fluid, yes lighting fluid, put some on a soft rag and wipe the entire area, it should make a big difference, then use the rotary buffer with the polish it comes with putting light pressure on the area, from my experience all that will be left are the dents which is wayy easier to live with, sucks our cars are black though. oh well G/L

most of that will buff out but you will need a highspeed buffer and rubbing compound

Davis A-1 autobody

I live in davis as well but ive taken my 04 black G a few times to what i think is a gr8 shop in davis and i know this guy does great work. he'll prolly give u a choice whether u wanna re-paint or juss buff and touch up for much cheaper. Its called A-1 autobody shop i believe his names brian. Its located rite next to the cable car wash in downtown Davis, so u shud know wut im talkin about. Good luck
