Rear passenger quarter panel damage - Please help!
Hey guys!
Bought my 86 last week and of course being the dumb dumb that I am, I get it a little scratched up exiting the driveway (apparently I don't know how to drive). Either way, the car now has some damage and I'm just wondering if anyone can give me a recommendation/insight as to how best repair this myself/cheapest? Any help is appreciated!     Cheers all! |

Options:
A. Go to body shop, get quote, have panels repainted B. Buy random spray paint and go crazy C. Consider it totaled, push it off a cliff into a ravine, and go buy a new car Seriously though, there is no "fixing" that without having it repainted. It's down to primer and bare metal; touch-up paint could cover it, but it'd be obvious. |

Plan two, Get touchup paint give it a coat. Will not look good but will protect it and you can can fix it later when you can pay for a proper fix.
I think this a Bubba recommendation. |

It looks like a bunch of residue transfer that can be buffed off.
Where paint has chipped the best you can hope for is touch up to cover the bare metal without having the panel repaired and blended professionally. DIY touch up route, I always suggest a metal prep of some kind to ensure no chance of rust forming underneath. |
