Someone vandalized my new 2k2 6spd

Some sucker scratched my hood (sterlin mist) and left a 5+ inch damage. The body shop said it will cost $650 to repair.

Is anyone aware of something on the market that I can use to do it myself? I remember something on commercials.

My friend told me it is after your car get first scratch that you can start to enjoy aggrassive driving.

thanks

no way it would cost $650 to repaint just the hood.

Ouch. I have seen the stuff your talking about, but I have a feeling it is just crap. Best bite the bullet and have it done professionally.

Sorry to hear about your car. Catch the bastard that did it and castrate him.

WHY? OH WHY?!? Why do punks mess around with another man's vehicule?

You just don't do that. Just don't.

One thing is certain in life, you don't mess with another man's car. Ever.

Sorry to hear that man.

Good Luck. Get it done by the pros. Don't go for the infomercial crap.

you cant *just* paint the hood.. you have to blend and break it over the fenders. $200 a panel, there you have it.

Maybe try GS27. I don't know how bad you are talking here. GS27 works great for fine scratches, but if you are talking about a keyed car, well your taking it to a body shop.
