not amused :(

I was parked at work when a big rain storm came through.. Tree branch fell off a tree and hit the side of my car. After buffing the area there was a small dent but no paint damage. after all of the things that have happened to the body (someone backed into my front and rear bumpers, extensive rock chips on front bumper, dent on roof, dent on front passenger door, and now the rear too) Im thinking of just bringing it in in the spring and getting it repainted with a few add ons including my new front bumper and lip with my molded Ionic grill. This is what Im thinking. Im IP now and kinda like white. I think I will either do a matte white with a gloss black roof or lexus isf blue or audi dolphin gray or audi rs4 blue. either way I dont want to change up my headlights and over all black out scheme and dont want to murder it (full black body).





































PS these are not pics of the dent (these were taken before it) I just wanted to show you my car for some color opinions

white w/ black accents aka the "stormtrooper" look is awesome when done right. I also like the Lexus ISF blue, those are my choices. PS, get some Steel It and paint those rotors!

While you're at it, don't forget the calipers.

I definitely would NOT recommend you repaint your car for the sake of a few dents and chips, especially to another color. Most minor dents can be removed by paintless dent removal methods and the cost to properly repaint the whole car are substantial $$$$. If you are going to a different color, you can add even more on top of that. Save your money, or spend it on mods, but I'd recommend you either try the paintless methods or just make peace with your paint as it is.

yeah I've read full color change is over 8-12k, unless you know someone who has a paint shop thatll do it at cost. A simple repaint of the same color without all the engine bay and jams, etc should be around 4k. Do whatever makes you happy though

hey man, most small dents can be removed easily by "paintless dent removal". i know a guy by my way that does it for hail damage, etc. so check around and you might find it locally.
