I was totally expecting the worse, very good job.

Mochikomi · 09-20-2012, 10:25 AM

My reaction as I scrolled through the pics:

No...

Please don't do that..

Oh god..

Holy crap!

Well done, OP!

Hold on... for some reason I remember you said you had clear bra on your car... unless I was totally off to lunch. Not that it matters now that it's fixed.

civicdrivr · 09-20-2012, 10:42 AM

Wow. I dont have the patience to do anything nearly that nice. Great job

n2oinferno · 09-20-2012, 10:47 AM

Very nice. Exactly as you said, and most people don't realize. It's all in the prep before you lay down the paint. Little wetsanding and then a final polish and I bet nobody would ever be the wiser.

That's pretty damn good. Thumbs up OP. Now... maybe I should fix my whole car into yellow?

I got the paint from here: http://www.automotivetouchup.com/cho...ion&model=FR-S

then I also got some clear coat to put on top. I would double check by googling your specific paint code from toyota to make sure everything matches up.

You are correct, I did have a clear bra. But that only covers my hood and upper fender, it does not cover any part of the plastic bumper. I asked the guy why he did not put a clear bra on the bumper and he said it was for incidents like this, so I guess he was quite right.

How did the damage even occur?

I was turning left into a parking spot and the front was just a touch too wide so it scraped the side of the curb. Wasn't hard, but enough to cut through the paint and make it look awful.

Wow, I need to be careful of that when I get my FR-S. I drive a highlander so bumpers too high to do it even if I tried. Never had or drove a car outside of learning to drive and test drives.

i scraped my bumper as well, doing the same thing. I just plastidipped over it, and used that as motivation to pull into anywhere else i wanted to how i wanted to, because damage done, means it cant get worse. lol.
