Damage / repair estimate ? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys, nothing huge. I am probably going to take it into the shop Sunday or shortly after, but was just wondering if anyone had an idea of what I may be looking it.

Back story: So I went to put on aftermarket bowties, and accidently did this along the way. Yes I know the car is ungodly dirty, I had to drive it recently. BTW I'm not keeping these bowties, they are coming off soon as I have ordered chrome/IBM bowties. I didn't like how these turned out.

Anyways, here it is. The damage is the paint chip or whatever right below the bowtie.

Also, I happen to have a can of IBM factory spray paint. Assuming it costs more than I would like to spend, would it be possible to use that to make this look decent?

Thanks in advance

The can will be ok for a temp. fix, but you might be better off going with the roller-pen/brush instead of that and maybe a clear coat/lacquer after. This chip doesn't seem to go to bare metal so that's a plus.

use the paint pen that gm sells....10 bucks, you'll really not notice it if done correctly.

That looks kind of small. I would try some touch up paint first.

This is what mine looked like. Just go to a dealer with your vin/seriel/paint code and they should be able to give you exactly what you need
