I was making a right turn at a light, started the turn a little (not really..) too early, and it scraped the hell out of my side skirt and rear right rim. I was wondering if this could be just reconditioned since there are just some deep scratches and missing paint? It's not popped out of place or anything, just cosmetic damage about halfway through from back to front. Stupidly, the first thing I did was buy touch up paint from Metro Infiniti and tried to paint everything back in, its a temporary fix but you can tell someone went on there, then I realized it would have been better if I just took it to a body shop and see if it could have just been reconned. I'll take pics of it if anyone needs it, but I'm assuming you guys can imagine what I'm talking about from my post

Thanks for any reply with advice/input

Bad month for me to be driving..

Did you do this at the mall? LOL. J/K dude.

I would just take off the skirt and take it a body shop. I'mthinking it should be around maybe $200 to do. Take some pics of the damage.

lmao nope..it was near my GF's house in San Gabriel..

would they be able to recover whatever the hell I did with the touch up paint? its hideous..it covers it up since its still black but damn you can see the gashes where the scratches are

They'll probably end up re-painting the whole thing after filling in the gashes. Sucks to hear man.

And Patpa Smurf.. quit stalking him at the mall

Well I can't help it if he's there all the time!

But yeah, they'll probably just sand the whole thing down and painting over. Just hope they can match it.

Eli, the painter next door might be able to do it. If there's no damage, like chunks missing, he can just sand it down and paint it.

He mainly does wheels and he also does the black chrome grilles, but he does body parts as well.
