You won't get a good quality paint job for cheap, unless you know someone at a paint shop that will hook you up.

Yeah, My car has almost 130K. So it's not really worth spending a lot on it. I mean, I have lot of door dings and scrapes. I mean what would you guys do in this situation? I can spend $2000 bucks and get a good whole car paint. Instead of only one fender, and door.
It's a 98 ls, still run strong. I love the car at the same time I feel like I should just trade in for another car and keep the $2000 in my pocket or put it into my new car. So that's my dilemma. The car I wnat is the Infinity G35. Test drove it ansd love it.

The thing with re-painting after a keying, is that it will most likely happen again and piss you off even more. It sucks but that's the truth. Maybe time for a cheap cover up and trade in.

Save your money.

Spend a percentage on a Louisville Slugger.

Park your car and watch it.

When the dingle-berry returns to vandalize, SWING AWAY my friend.

P.S. take some pictures of his scratches so we can laugh about it :rockon:

Regards

LOL, that' s an idea. Fess
I have a pretty good idea of who did it. but there is no proof. I did think about doing the same back to his car, when I was pisst at first. Well then I came to my senses and scratching one more car isn't gonna solve anything,. God will strike him with lightning one day.........LOL
I think I am just gonna go to MAACO and get the whole car painted. I am guessing it will cost me probable $500 at most. As they advertise $199 whole car paint. Then immediatly do a trade in for something else.

Bro, don't let nobody bully you.

Because if they do that to your car and you do nothing, this will invite more taunting.

You live in a project? (ghetto) or close to it?

If you think you know who did it, you should step up and confront him toe to toe. If someone did that shit to my ride and I knew who it was I would have to confront him. There is no other way about it. You gotta save face.
