Ever think oh I can fit, when you can't! Stupid Me - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So my neighbor was working on his car then was walking around the car when I was pulling in so I pulled in at a odd angle and figured oh I can fit.... but yeah not so much!

Ended up getting the corner of the garage since I'm a dumb ass... So yes I'm aware I'm a moron so don't need any of those remarks. Need to know how bad I did damage wise.

I'm thinking the bumper can be buffed, not sure. Fender may need replacing, I'm not sure. Figure it's not worth turning into insurance since I have $500 deductible.

depends if its just a scratch or if there are dents in there as well. if there are dents then im pretty sure you will have to buy a new quarter panel on top of painting to match. may cost anywhere from 350 to paint like at maaco to 800 for a new panel and paint

J_Vibe92 · 03-14-2013, 05:14 PM

my deductible is 1000$ :( which sucks

PalmerGA · 03-14-2013, 05:15 PM

Can't help you with the damage but, I do agree with your self-analysis.

(Just kidding)

captaincog · 03-14-2013, 05:16 PM

Assuming it can be buffed out then a paintless dent repair will likely do the trick. So sorry to hear that it happened/1

NOPE, I do my damnest to avoid getting within door reach other car in a parking lot.

DuskSS · 03-14-2013, 05:32 PM

nope I park a acre away from any cars or posts..

Billabongi · 03-14-2013, 05:44 PM

I didn't hit a car, I got the corner of my garage trying to squeeze in at a odd angle

Bad@ssCamaro · 03-14-2013, 05:51 PM

I would bring it to a few body shops and get some estimates. If you can pay it out of pocket, you won't get hit with a possible rate increase from your insurance company. Good luck with the repairs

christianchevell · 03-14-2013, 06:00 PM

Will not buff the paint is thin you are seeing primer...........ANd buffing would leave it swirled permanently most likely looking like............

No paint transferred to the garage and that color is actually the ugly garage color. I'd be shocked if it buffed out but I'm hopeful

Pro Stock John · 03-14-2013, 06:53 PM

Been there, sucks. It happens, good luck maybe the white stuff is from the paint of the garage?

Mick1 · 03-14-2013, 06:59 PM
