What a wake up surprise...

[CHUN5TA]

One of the worst things to wake up to if you value your car even a little (which I think most of us value our cars)...



Woke up and went to my car to take off and I see this. It stood out like a sore thumb, white on black!

At first, I thought I parked too far from the curb so I go to check:

Can't really get much closer.



After washing and claying, best I can do:

No name, no number, no information left at all.

looks like someone clipped you and decided not to stick around. sorry to hear about that, people these days...

same EXACT thing happened to my dad's explorer. I'm having a hell of a time touching it up.

$400-$500 and it will be new again.

damn bro, my body guy would charge me 200 tops to strip/repaint the entire bumper!

man that stinks. a Lake country yellow pad and some menzerna super intense polish or some meguiars ultra finishing polish # 205.

Drives me nuts that people can't judge that they are about to hit a car when parking or leaving a parking space. Even if it's an accident just leave me a note. Even if you aren't going to leave your name and number just a note saying sorry would probably calm me down a little bit. I'm lucky I live in nyc but don't have to park on the street often. The few times I have this has happened to me or my bumpers get beat up.

For that amount, he's either doing it for fun or taking major short cuts

with the cheapest materials available. $400 - $500 is the correct range

for a correct repair/refinish.

Yep.



I'd prefer not to have my paint fall off after 2 years.



The "friend deal" usually produces some of the worst paintwork out there.

what a coincidence... my dads silver camry got backed into a few days ago (in a parking lot somewhere) and the right rear bumper had some black paint transfer. luckily... some #105, foam applicator, and a little elbow grease made quick work of it. why do people do things like this?

as soon as i saw the pictures i thought its got to be in sf. a day doesn't go by that i don't see someone trying to parallel park without hitting either the car in front or rear, and act like nothing happened. sorry man
