Angry There Goes My New Fresh Paint...

I got my car kitted and repainted in 3R1 Matador Red Mica this past summer



Yesterday I saw this when I got out of my car after coming home from work



I have parked in the same spot at my work in the back of a downtown area for the past year. There is an easement to my left and apparently someone who did not know how to drive squeezed through.

So the car is going to get touched up this winter break. Looks like nobody is getting presents this year.

Sorry to hear that Jerry. Looks like it can be buffed out though. This is why we can have nice things.

Your car looks very sharp, bummer about the paint though. Time to invest on a alarm with a shock sensor.

I have a Clifford Matrix 2-Way but if they squeezed through the spot really slow, there's no shock to trigger it

That sucks...
If it is not too deep, maybe you can buff and polish that because you have a good and durable paint job.

Boy I hate haters.
Reminds me of the time someone knicked my car purposely like that. I did the detective work, tracked him down and told him that if he ever got even close to my car again, I'd kick his butt all over the city. It was an envious co-worker who thought he was the new rooster in the henhouse. Not after I publically threatened to kick his butt.

Most of that looks to be surface and can be buffed out. The only areas I see that needs maybe some minor airbrushing is on the metal. The rear bumper looks to be all clear coat scuffs. Some 2000 grit and a nice polisher should do the trick. Won't cost a thing if you or someone you know has some detailing skills.
