First Accident In The Focus
#13
Yeah, this is my first new car. I used to own a Toyota Tercel (white lightening) that was held together at the rusted out points...
In all honesty, I'm trying to figure out where it could have happened, whether or not my last 'circle check' was complete enough... although, as you can tell from the pictures, the scrape is pretty obvious. I was chatting with this guy at colorworks.ca (he's done jobs for my dads company, and they turned out great), and he said he could try to tape it off, sand it down, prime it (with flex additive), base and clear coat, and then a final wet sand to blend the line. He said that his colour matching is 95-99% (depending on if there's any pearl or metallic, which there isn't). 100$ for the job. I'm half tempted to try it out (especially because it's on the bumper, not on a flat panel), and then if I'm not satisfied, when I can afford it, bring in the whole bumper for a paint job. Make sense?

Oh, and about the conscious thing... it just plain sucks.... people these days don't give two s**ts about others' possessions... but that's another bag of worms altogether
Does a shorty anntena count as a mod?? Wink
