Wrecked!

fa1 · 11-16-2006, 08:42 PM

Okay not really, more like a scuff. It happened when my mom took the car for groceries and comes back with this...

Yea it doesn't look like much but I'm hurting inside. I'm going to get some paint tomorrow and try to fix it. If it still doesn't look good then it's time for the HFP lip

***CaliGuy*** · 11-16-2006, 08:43 PM

Ommm...your title is quite misleading man...thats like a minor scuff...

06Fg2 · 11-16-2006, 08:44 PM

I say beat your mom and make her buy you the HFP kit. Just tell her that your dying on the inside. Guilt trip FTMFW!!!!

***06blaksi*** · 11-16-2006, 08:45 PM

I know how you feel. I got 3 deep ones on my front lip the other day. It must suck more since your mom took the car. You can't get mad at her. She's your mother......could have been worse. Good luck getting her fixed. The lip kit will surely cover that

K20z3 Civic Si [PHONG] · 11-16-2006, 08:45 PM

Thats not bad. If your gonna buy touch up paint, dont actually paint it with the brush inside, it'll look real bad. I learned the hard way =(.

BLU BY U · 11-16-2006, 08:45 PM

karma is a bitch, careful on your title. good luck on the fix.

I was expecting more but I would be pissed too

PoLiShPrInCe · 11-16-2006, 08:45 PM

you let other people drive your car? wow...

**atruhondagrl** · 11-16-2006, 08:46 PM

Lesson no 1.- Never let your mom drive your car. Just ask Lightlypurified about that.

Lesson no2.- THATS not wrecked. That's bruised.

***Z1 Performance*** · 11-16-2006, 08:46 PM

Easy fix - it may just take some time.

Clean the area with soap and water, then with rubbing alcohol. This will remove any traces of dirt and wax so the paint can adhere.

Use your touchup brush and apply VERY thin coats of paint 10 minutes apart until the entire area of the gashes are filled evenly (it could take 5 coats or more). Wait about 2-3 days and clean the area AGAIN - then follow with a fine polishing compound to level the area. It won't be perfect, but it will look a lot better than just blobbing on the paint all at once.

06CivEXJon · 11-16-2006, 09:07 PM

Wow lol that is nothing...you should look at the mad scrape on my EX bumper, its more then that and remember its just a "Civic" just touch it up and be done with it. I wouldn't worry about it.

fa1 · 11-16-2006, 09:08 PM

Thanks for the comments everyone. Will try to fix my baby back to normal and in her former glory

imtim25 · 11-16-2006, 09:21 PM

You know deep down no one really feels what the owner of the car feels. Even a little scratch like mines is painful. Sure my car isn't totaled but it's still F'd up.

GALAXY~SI · 11-16-2006, 10:33 PM

Yea that nothing compared to how my front end looks lol my driver side fender dented in at the headlight and the front bumber is all scratched getting it fix next week along with dropping my vehicle so happy.

Civic4u · 11-16-2006, 10:35 PM

That not that bad at all.

Funny!!! I haven't seen single sedan on this forum have any accident at all

I wouldn't want to feel your kind of pain but neither will I be happy with mines.

MellowGato · 11-16-2006, 11:47 PM

Since you feel your car is wrecked, why don't you sell it to me for $50?

**ethlar** · 11-17-2006, 12:15 AM
