Default The Curse continues.... again...

Hey guys,

I reversed my car today while parking at work and ended up hitting the fence. I don't know how it happened but I didn't even feel it. I guess our cars are some what ford tough. lol

I got owned by the fence...

Now do you think that autopen would cover it up? lol

Bryan, sad to hear another GS got nicked this year

From the looks of the picture, I don't think the paint pen will be enough to fill up the medium-sized chips I highlighted below. If you want a quality repaint, it's probably best to take it to a reputable body shop. Good luck dude.

Thanks Ray, Brendan, and everyone else. BTW I have the scratch X by meguiers, I'll try that tomorrow. BTW how will it cover the black paint loss? thanks

It's weird. It's like it blends the paint together. It's always worked on all of my family's cars. My mother's LS400 is dark blue and it worked wonders on that car.

Also, it seems as if it is actually better on dark colored cars.
