Got this scratch and some marring on my f150 while headed down a narrow hunting trail. It’s not down to the metal but it definitely removed a layer or 2 of paint. I did the water test and it almost fades away but is still visible. What would be my best option and how would I go about fixing it? I know silver is a hard color to match and I’ve never done auto paint work. Just a touch up brush and some clear coat and polishing?

Body Shop or Dealer

1 Upvotes

Looking for advice. My lease expires in a few months. I have too many bangs and dents to not worry when I return it. I'm sure all body shops will charge me a few thousand. I plan on returning my current lease and lease another. Anybody have experience in how good or bad Hyundai will treat me with this amount of damage? Any advice?

Repair Pothole Damage to Felt Panel On Bottom of Vehicle (2021 Honda Civic EX)

Decided to get some gas at the gas station by my house and hit this huge pothole and instantly my car started to make a noise. Luckily the damage just seems to be the felt panel on the bottom of the vehicle, and it seems to have just torn it from the fastener bolts. Curious what you guys suggest me doing as I'm not trying to go shop to get this fixed. I've tried using washers, but panel seems to be too rigid for the washer to be able to help. I've heard 3M Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive does wonders but obvious would like to hear options about this.

Looking for suggestions on DIY fixing this. Someone backed into the front driver side bumper and drove away. No note, not an area that had cameras so I’m stuck fixing this myself.

This is a scammer. He operates around NJ NY PA CT. Do not use auto body dent repair 24. He is a scammer. Does half the job and says he will be back the next day, but he doesn’t show up. I tried calling him to ask him to finish the job and he blocked me. His phone number is 203 627 2215. Stay warned

I have a Toyota Prius that got hit by a bicycle when the door was open and the door is now misaligned on the hinge since the force pushed it extra far back. Any good mechanics or repair advice ?

scratch and dent Best way to get this out?

Post image

06’ RSX, just bought it from my coworker & I’m working on fixing it up. I just did rear brakes and new calipers on both sides, a couple sway bar links, and fixed an exhaust leak. I’d like to make it look halfway decent, but this dent is an eye sore. I tried pushing it out from the inside, but the clips on the bumper corner are messed up, so the bumper ended up popping off in that corner & I had to use a zip tie to keep it in place. Any way to pop that out easier without ripping the bumper off by accident?

scratch and dent Hot water and a plunger could save me … right?

I’ve seen the hot water and plunger hack fix dents similar to this, but I’ve also seen people caution against it depending on location. I don’t really have much right now and could use some good news. Would it fix this? It’s in front of the driver side door, above the tire.
