So I was in a hurry to leave to work this morning, so I run out of the house, back my car out of the driveway. I then back my fiance's car out for her convenience, so she doesnt have to lift the heavy gate and lock it, and it be a bit more simpler for her.. and well.. I forgot the G was behind hers. Yeah, I crashed my own car. I'm a D***.

No damage whatsoever as the hit was at like 4mph, but still, about a diameter of 10 inches of paint chipped. I'm sure a buff will get trid of it, but I am wondering..

what can I do about the about 10 inches long, 1 cm wide of NO paint? it chipped out about this much, and its just black now. What can I do?

Thanks ahead for the assistance and the name-calling!

 

Should've bought Black Obsidian... That way the black wouldn't show as bad... Hehehe... Can you take a pic of the damages? Might have to repaint the bumper bro...

 

Ugh...sorry to hear. I've heard stories like this more than once.

 

That's what I am probably expecting.. $250-$500 down the drain.

 

I dont think buffing will put paint back on your car....

 

hmmm...sounds a bit odd. bumpers are made to take a light impact without damage. factory paint should in no way have just flaked off like that. i know that improperly prepped repaints have a tendancy to flake and chip, but i've never heard of this happening to a bumper that hasn't been repainted.

 

I think he was talkin about buffing out the minor scratches and what not...


DdotRoq, use Turtle Wax rubbing compound on the lil scrathes... Its what I used when I made a stupid mistake too (bumped into my office building)... It got the paint form the building and the lil scratches off almost instantly!!

 

Did you forget how crappy and soft our paint is??? Water-based paints FTL...

 

Dang, sorry to hear. It's just an accident.. it happens.

Do you have any pics of the damage?

 

Would be better if you show us pics.

 

pics now!

 

sorry to hear is there damage on her car as well? what kind of car is it?

 

Sorry to hear about the damage. But kudo's to you for being gentlemen to your fiance. Maybe they can airbrush the paint to fill it, then blend it?

 

hitting ur own car... sorry man

 

Sorry to hear man.. Mistakes happen. Your best bet is to have your bumper repainted. That's gonna be the only way to have it look right.
