Scratched my car's back :(

Last night, I hit a wall when I was backing up.
How much would it cost?
Recommend me some bodyshop too.
Also can I just buy some spray and fix it?
(FYI, I'm new to cars)

Write-off for sure.


Jokes aside, doesn't seem TOO bad. You can call ASC collision, they've done some decent work for me in the past unless others have different recommendations.

Spraying it yourself will probably end up looking very poor since its over a somewhat large surface area. You would need to prep it pretty well to keep paint from chipping down the road.

How much may it cost? Could you give me an idea?

Honestly, most of that might actually polish out, grab some Mothers fine cut cleaner from Canadian Tire and a couple good microfibers... apply elbow grease and a little polish (after cleaning the surface) and see how it goes. You might be surprised at the results...

Did the car scratch your back after?

^ +1

Try a nice hand polish, youtube the right technique and you should see a big improvement

That'll buff right out

...the amount of people who can't google, find the address or phone within a second and call the number is too damn high

It would be funny if it were not my first car!

i think you could do it yourself. get some sand paper, buy a good polishing compound and rub really hard with microfiber.

also, one good way to "hide" the white scratch to blend in to the black colour is to use paint thinner. BUT ONLY if the rear bumper has not been repainted before. thats what i used when my friend bumped his x5 into a yellow post.

you a new driver?
id say leave it because youre probably gonna get more of these.
after a couple yrs then fix it all at once

flagella 05-30-2015 06:43 PM

won't even bother fixing. Is it just me or the quality of the paint looks terrible (orange peeling).

multicartual 05-30-2015 07:17 PM

$350 at a body shop

DC5-S 05-30-2015 07:18 PM

I'd just use touch up paint and call it a day

Some OEM paints look like that straight outta the factory :ohgodwhy: the BRZ they showcased at the auto show this year had crazy orange peel...and so does my car...I find that it's more prevalent in Japanese brands and low trim German models

350$ for paint? Sounds too much, I may just leave it..

Suprarz666 05-30-2015 08:12 PM

lol @ $350 being too much.

Galactic_Phantom 05-30-2015 08:14 PM

Kid is obviously in high school

freakshow 05-30-2015 08:19 PM

You're a new driver, and not really into cars or anything, so I would just leave it be. It's just cosmetic

Not a kid but I'm new to Vancouver. Moved here recently and don't know places or people to get help. Thanks for your support!

RevYouUp 05-30-2015 08:48 PM

Yup it'll cost ~350 for that. You can save some money if you want by removing/installing the bumper yourself.

Nvasion 05-30-2015 10:01 PM

big crease down the middle there. repair, r&i plus paint will run you about 750
