The bumper was partially torn off this Honda Odyssey minivan. We had to replace the bumper, fix a dent in the fender, and straighten the internal sheetmetal where these parts attached.
It happens to all of us. In a moment of inattention we hear a nasty scraping noise. Or maybe we have no idea how it happened. Almost Everything'sCar of the Day is a brand new BMW. Making a gnarly scrape vanish: not much money. Not having to see the gnarly scrape every day for 5 years: priceless.
Almost Everything'sCar of the Day is a 2001 Honda Civic Si Hatchback that had been keyed. We feathered the edges of the key scratches so they would not show under the new paint. We also sanded down a bunch of delaminating paint (the peeling stuff.) We applied a primer-sealer to cover the bare metal spots then painted the whole car with a cost effective enamel paint.
