I have been parking in the same covered spot at my apartment complex for about a year, but for some reason today I fucking scraped up against one of the poles. It didn't dent the car at all, just left some of the paint from the pole on top of my car's paint. Do you guys know of any product that will get that paint off? Or do I need to have it done professionally? How much does something like that usually cost?
I just did the dumbest shit to my car...

Well its going to take the bumper cover and fender being painted. They can do a pretty good blend with where you did it. So roughly 250.00 to 400.00 should cover it. Bout 2 days in the shop with dry times.Comment

Should I take it straight to chevy, or look around for a good local shop?Comment

Dealer will charge twice as much, take it to some body shop and offer cash and tell them not to report it, most wont report it anyways, shit can depreciate your car a lot the day you try to sell it and its reported via carfax "in an accident"Comment
-
If you are going to pay it yourself ask around about good local shops. Dealership will be alot more normally. There is no part replacement so since its just paint work just find a good shop. I ran a bodyshop at a dealership for a few years. I cant hardly breath in paint fumes anymore though drives me nuts.Comment

Try Starbrite car wax if you can find it. It will take a few rub outs to work and some elbow grease.I have been parking in the same covered spot at my apartment complex for about a year, but for some reason today I fucking scraped up against one of the poles.

Other than that take a knapped clothe towel and try to rub it out with baby oil or 3in1 oil. 3in1 is probably the best.Done.Comment

You don't need to repaint your bumper. Just go down to home depot or a hardware store and get some lacquer thinner. Take a soft cloth.. dab some lacquer thinner on it and gently rub off the pole paint from your bumper. Once the pant is gone just take some wax and buff the spot you just cleaned up.

And if for some reason you took off the original paint you're no worse off than before, right?Comment

It wouldn't cost anymore then $150 to spray that bumper.
I could spot a paint job from a mile away...no matter who does it. So don't let anyone charge you more then $150 thinking it's going to be perfect. That should be plenty for them to mix the paint, spray and blend.
Maco charges that much for a whole fucking car. Trust me $150 is plenty.Last edited by Young; 02-13-2007, 06:59 PM.★★★

It won't take off the original paint unless you actually scrub hard... i mean scrub hard in the same spot over and over. I've done it a million times... so had my brother, never had the original paint come off. As soon as the lacquer thinner hits the pole paint it will come off... just wipe it off.
As for rubbing compound idea.... It won't work. You'll be scrubbing all day and the poll paint won't come off. Not to mention you'll swirl up your car paint if you keep rubbing and rubbing it on your car b/c of the grit in it. You'd need to high speed buff it to get the swirls out.Comment

Sorry but wow.... Speaking as someone trained to do estimates ... "I dont think so Tim"It wouldn't cost anymore then $150 to spray that bumper.

I guarantee you if I do a repair job you would not be able to tell what I did. I did showcars that at least 5 or 6 are still on the showcar circuit. My dad and I have a 56 Studebaker Golden Hawk sitting in a museum up in New York right now.
Once someone says "I could spot a paint job from a mile away...no matter who does it." They just lost credibility. Ive had the most anal customers in the world examine work I did, or the shops I rans work and couldnt find anything wrong.
And if the paint is not scratched, then alot will buff out, but to me the front leading edge of the fender is surely chipped and scratched through to the metal. Its hard to tell from a photo taken at night though.Comment

Just to break it down.
Labor hours 3.5 @ 55.00 per hour 192.50
Paint and materials 145.00
No parts needing replaced. 0.00
Hazard waste disposal fee 15.00
Subtotal 352.50
Tax 28.20
Total 380.70
If you go get an estimate this is likely what you will see or close to it.
If you got lucky enough that the paint only got rubbed onto the clear coat and didnt break through you can go have it buffed out. High speed buffer plus compound will work.Comment

scratches add character!Comment

If the paint is scratched then you'll need to get it painted at a repair shop 200-400 depending where. If it's not try rubbing compound with some good ol' elbow greaseComment

I don't know why I waited 2 weeks to try it, but I'm glad I did. The paint came right off like it was nothing. You can barely see a tiny scratch and that's about it, the white paint is totally gone. Thanks man!
