Just ****ed my brand new 2015 camaro..

I'm so pissed ...

How do i fix this?!

homewrecker · 10-26-2014, 04:56 AM

Autobody shop, sand and paint. Try polishing it to see how much gets removed.

Maybe look into a splitter to cover up the damage. From what I can see in the pictures, looks like it's low enough to be covered by a splitter. But I'm not sure

How much will that cost?

Splitter · 10-26-2014, 06:24 AM

If they charge you more than $250 I'd tell them to go shove it.

The picture is kind of small but it could just be pain transfer. Did you just hit a painted post? If so you might be able to polish that off.

^^^

Yep if it's paint transfer, get out some polish and start rubbing.

That looks like Curb Rash. Looks like repaint front bumper. Should cost $300-$500 at a shop. This is why i back in everywhere i go. These cars sit to low and the front is longer than you think. Makes it a little hard to park. Did the same thing when i had my '10. 2 days after i bought it.

Tape off the area with masking tape and plastic trash bags leaving only the damaged area exposed (entire front fascia should be covered in addition to the wheel and front quarter panel on damaged side) to protect from over spray. Sand the abrasion down with 800 grit sand paper in order to smooth out the scraped surface being careful not to gouge the plastic bumper further. once the surface is smooth spray 2-3 even coats of primer for your base coat of black paint to stick to. let each coat dry 10-15 minutes before spraying another. once your done with your primer move on to your base coat 3-4 coats of black automotive quality spray paint should do (you can find a good color match at autozone for about 7 bucks). once your base is dry spray the area with 7 to 10 coats of clear coat (7 bucks at auto zone) ensuring you do not lay down any coat to thick as the paint/clear coat/ or primer will run. take your time lay your coats down evenly and it should turn out fine. the car is black the scrape is extremely low and with patience and a steady hand this problem will go away for less than 30 bucks. I did this myself about 6 months ago (before I wrecked it and had the whole thing replaced anyhow) it came out great and my car is crystal red (very difficult to match). hope this helps bro.

+1 looks low enough to be covered up. Pay to have it repainted or spend about the same for a splitter. I'd go with a splitter.

Mint · 10-26-2014, 12:49 PM

Buy a front splitter

Vaz · 10-26-2014, 01:37 PM

Can I just buy a black marker from autozone and get it temporarily fixed and then do all the other steps?
