Minor Damage but needs paint.....what to do

Olgunan · 10-23-2016, 04:07 PM

Well it seems that people are drawn to the front of my vehicle with theirs.....this is why we can't have nice things. New fender, wheel, and headlight, plus a second paint job on the front bumper......FML

That really sucks, it is a pretty straightforward repair though. Not sure if you have a BMW Collision Center near by but if you do I would recommend going that route. Your having terrible luck, hope things turn around.

Closest BMW facility is in Denver, 5hrs away. I think I might have it towed there anyways for the warranty work and the bodywork.

This car has been a curse since I bought it. Lol!

Wow I got pissed at myself today for scuffing the underside of the front lip on a curve (barely noticeable unless I look under). I hope the repair goes alright thats pretty shitty.

No way! That just sucks that your M2 got hit again. If you were satisfied with the BMW collision center you used previously, I'd bring it back to to them in Denver. I hope you can make it work with the logistics.

Settle for cash with the person who hit ur car.

This is great advice - if you had a 1996 Toyota Tercel.

I have my xpel installer applying the touch up tomorrow before installation. We'll see how it works...

How'd that work out for you?

You are going to need a panel beater, no?

For paint work.. I was contemplating a Dr ColorChip to fix some stop chips

But you probably need a full respray

Have it flatbedded to Denver on their insurance's dime
