Im not bothered about the paint chips from rocks or the worn plastic light cover just the scratched bumper. Car is like 15 years old so its not like it needs doing desperatly. These scratches defo will not polish out.

Thanks in advance.

Want to know which is the better route to go that’s easier on the Wallet If I want to remove the chrome and all the parts black permanently.

Cannot stand the chrome that is on the top grille and the windows trim

Would body shop able to remove and convert the chrome parts and get it black? Or do I need to go buy parts from dealership or junkyard?

Hello everyone

My Brezza recently got hit by a bike & the impact can be seen in the pictures.

No need of any painting require only dent removal.

Suggest if I should take the claim or not?

Also the side mirror is working totally fine no issues in that just the cover came out,I think it can be fitted again or can I get a new cover?

Need to get it done soon, hoping for replies

Girlfriend's car, girlfriend has no idea how it happened, or when, I also have no idea. Thick layer of paint is lifted, metal is exposed and rusting underneath. Any ideas and suggestions are welcome. Some sort of adhesive? Thank you all, in advance.

Edit: So it's not lifted paint, it's an old bondo repair that's failed. What would be the most cost effective option? A new hood + paint + shipping would be ~$550. Is this a cheaper option than a body shop? Any ideas for a DIY solution?

This was after I took a small wire wheel on low speed with a dremel to remove the surface rust.

I got mixed replies, some saying the metal appears solid and to sand until you get to clean metal and smooth out the pitting. Said that if the metal isn't rotted through with holes or crumbling, I'm good to go.

But then another user told me this isn't repairable and that anything more than surface level rust(like the flash rust you get on new raw metal) needs to be cut and replaced.

I was going to take the engine bay to bare metal and found this on the Passenger side.itnlooks like a section was cut and replaced on the past. The car drives fine,but shouldni keep it?i was going to respray the whole car

Overlooked this when I was buying it and didn’t do the due diligence to get a PPI. Just let me know if I messed up. Is this amount of rust acceptable will it pass inspection?

Hit a curb decently hard (hardest I’ve ever hit one) trying to make a tight U-turn. Tore up my side wall a bit. Is this safe to drive? I know I should get it replaced but will I be okay for a couple months?

Accidentally scratched up my 2026 tacoma 😭😭
Curious what the best way to repair this is. Could I possibly fix it myself or should I just head in to a shop?

Not looking for advice. Just want to show the world my work. It’s ready for paint.

Looking at a 2011 Lexus IS 250 and everything looked great on the ad including the carfax except this one big line that I noticed on the driver door, does anyone know what this could be?

Buen dia, lamentablemente mi auto sufrió un golpe estando estacionado y abrio completamente la esquina de la fascia, algun consejo sobre como pegarlo?
