ok so i was at the gas station and i was busy looking across the street for oncomming traffic, and i hit one of those curb things that shows you were to stop when you park, and i ran over it and the lip folded back.

neways ill take pix soon but the whole lip is scuffed up and bruised all the paint is of on one side. my question is, can i sand it down and paint it with touch up spray paint?

what grit should i use?

plz help im tired of spending money on this pos

 

need pics to see how bad the damage is.

 

im about to post tonight, but its digged bro, and bruised

 

hadnt you only paid like 200 bucks to paint a front and rear bumper? just go back to that guy. painting with touch up cans is very queens.............

 

but would it work??

 

If you are going to use spray cans, might as well use paint scratch.com paint. That's about the best paint you can go with. Otherwise, I agree that you should just have the shop that installed the lip respray it.

S

 

no it will look like @SS. touch up spray is never as shiny and the color doesnt match well, especially if you had parts already resprayed. i see cars everyday on the road that look like someone painted them in front of their house before dinner was ready. dont be one of those cars.

 

i hear you... dam it looks bad though lol. ok ill take your word and spend the money the right way

 

Or do what I did, the "AMD" lip mod. Get some sand paper. Both fine and ruff. Sand down the lip really well until smooth. Get some black spray paint, yes spray paint. Glossy or flrat black and tape up the lip where you want to paint and spray it. I have done mine a few times now and it doesn't look bad for what it is. It looks 10 times better then with cracked sh!TY PAINT

 

post pics please

 

u can sell it 2 me

 

Thats what im afraid of doing, bending my lip, thats why im cautious =x..

But im sure if the person who did your lip is cool with you, he/she should still have paint left over from already painting it unless they used all or threw it away.

 

i went to the shop today, and the guy was like, i told YOU TO BECAREFUL!! LOL he was like your better off without it with these streets. anyways he told me 150 to sand it and paint it, but he gave me like 10 different kinds of sand paper, and told me to sand it, bring it to him and hell paint it for a 100. plus he owes my car a glaze as well

 

post pics. dont waste time and money on touch up paint. it wont do jack ****. get it repainted. did the lip itself get physically damaged?

from now on back up into ALL parking spaces. thats my plan after im slammed...

and if u wanna see how ****TY touch up paint is on stillen lip, let me know, ill go grab a quick pic !

 

Go grab a pic quick!!!

when i hit the bump i didnt see it, in other words i wasnt paying much attention

 

not a good year for you is it? heh

 

Yo sorry to hear about your incident bro. Is it just me? Or this is a VERY bad year for the maximas? I mean, no matter how hard you try to avoid spending money and keep your car looking sexy. One way or another, it always ends up with a damage that costs mad money to fix. Just becareful out there man, take your time when you're driving and pay extra attention to the surrounding and road when you're driving.

 

hhm bad year for maximas huh... it must be year of the civic then.....

 

Every summer Maxima's always get hit or damaged.... whats up with that?

 

 

advance auto on college pt blvd will repaint for $100. tell them Thai sent you. ask for nelson. i get my lip re-painted at least 1 a year. NYC playa.....

 

100? hhm college point. i usually go the dude on liberty, but ill chek it out

 

Yeah, i always back up into my parking space, because im afraid if i try to fit in going forward, that the lip would scrape on the sidewalk...Ny roads is killer :\

 

Man, I wish I had a lip so I can brag about scraping..
