Just under 2000 mi this weekend went to the shore parked in the hotel lot some jerk must have scraped my passenger door with a beach chair.
It's about a 2 in scratch I can feel it with my nail it's in the paint I'm pissed, can it come out?

 

That is annoying.

Did it come with a touch up pack of Celestial Black metallic paint?

Nice specification.

 

Sorry to hear about it ,I believe a deep scratch remover should take care of it .

 

just found it today my front bumper the plastic fender , some ******* must have swiped with a beach chair . two spots scraped the paint off. i guess i have to get it painted .

 

Brought it to my dealer they looked at it and said they can repaint the bumper, should I ? Will that bring the resale price lower to have a replayed bumper?

 

jcamp,

While minor scratches like this are annoying, these are common minor wear and tear type items that are bound to occur - even though I know this occurred only after she had about 2000 miles on he clock. My guess is that if you take it to a certified repair center to have the scratch repaired then the resale value shouldn't really be affected that much, if at all. I think the resale value would be impacted if you replaced a body panel or bumper, as the original parts each have VIN stickers that trace the parts back to the original car. With this, I think you'll be O.K.

 

If I was buying, then this type of repair would not put me off. I would tell me that the owner cares about the car's appearance.

Sadly, scrapes happen, so how many times are you likely to need a minor bumper scratch repainted over your ownership.

What happened with the door?

 

thank god the door buffed out, the bumper had the paint chipped in 2 spots, the size of a nickel and the 2nd a size of a quarter.
