Default Paint Problem

I fell asleep at the wheel of my 06 mustang... crashed into a tree and screwed up the side of the front fascia and hood. Which is not a problem to repaint and replace... However... In crashing I flipped on the side of the car and dragged for about 2 feet before managing to recover it. Now I have peeled paint down to the metal on the sides of my car... Any ideas on how to fix? I do not think they can buffer.

If it is down to the metal or deep enough where you can really feel it with your finger nail it isn't going to buff out. Sounds like you need to talk to a body shop honestly.

Are you serious [&:] You hit a tree and flipped onto the side and you "do not think" they can just buff it [sm=icon_rofl.gif] Have you talked to your insurance yet to be sure its not totalled?? Sure sounds like you have some serious body shop work ahead of you.

wow, you fell asleep. I gotta say, your topic says "paint problem," I think it's funny you put this so mildly.
