Try Dr. Colorchip. I have seen great results with this product.

Of course it is fixable, but depends on how much you want to pay. It looks like it chipped and has a small dent so I'd probably bring it to a shop to respray. If you're lucky and they're confident on their blending ability, they can just spray that one small area. Of course, if you don't want to go that route, those vinyl sticker bandaids would work perfect

Nothing more aggravating than someone tearing up someone else's property. I feel your pain.. GL on your repair. I always hate to read these types of threads...

Yep I think that would be the perfect place for one of those fake bullet holes.

Seriously though it sucks when you do everything right and some schmo doesnt care about anyone else's property.

Good luck to you. Please remember that this may very well be out of the realm of mobile detailers and those DIY fix kits. Please keep us updated with the results though

I had someone back into my pristine GS430 at a restaraunt a couple months ago. Luckily a PDR guy was able to take MOST of it out. Still, not happy about it. I feel your pain man.
