Default SO PISSED. GOT SCRATCHED

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

Just left school.

Get home and notice on passenger side, under the headlight but above the turn signal, a ****ing scratch and paint chipped.

WOW! No one was next to me in my spot at the parking lot. I park in the same place everyday, same girl parks to my left everyday, person on the right is usually different. I park far away too, to hopefully be away from uncaring people of their cars. This looks like whoever was parked to the right of me, pulled out and scraped against the top right of my car.

OMFGGGGGGGG.

Anyone have any idea how much it will cost for a small scratch and some chipped paint? Doesn't feel like any dent at all just enough to chip paint and line of scratch

Could of it been a rock? You would be surprised.

Either way, I'm feel sorry. Always the worst feeling.

Just say it adds a little character to your car. Maybe then you will feel better. That's what I have always done[&o]

Some pics would help, but if it's fairly minor it shouldn't be too bad to fix.

I would go to a car detailer in your area who also does paint care stuff (a lot of them can fix little chips and scratches and whatnot without major repainting) and see what they quote you for a price. If you need to get the entire bumper repainted it's going to be a nice bill, but if it's minor one of those detailers can probably fix it for a fraction of the cost of repainting the whole bumper.

Time to hit up the YellowPages or whatever and check out some detailers.

Good luck!
