Damn woman whacked my door!
Man this sucks!
Earlier today i went to get a jamba juice (man im addicted to that crap), anyways, when i left and went to my car i saw this old *** camero that was mostly primer, orange, and tan sitting next to my car.
Before i got in my car, i saw that the passenger on the camero managed to whack my drivers side door, bad enough to cip off some paint :angryfire . The chip is about 1/4in by 1/4in on the side of the door. Above the ding was some tan paint, and below was some orange paint. Obviously it came from the Camero.
So i sat there and waited for the owner to come out. This guy and his girlfriend walk up and i ask if it is his camero and he said yeah. Then i told his stupid girlfriend to watch what the hell she is doing, just cause his car needs a paint job doesent mean mine should too!
So she gets all pissed off and starts running her mouth "who cares, thats a piece of crap anyway, blah blah".
Her boyfriend walks over and takes a look at the chip in my paint. His girlfriend keeps running her mouth so i tell her to shut up before she pisses me off.
Then she says "Oh yah? How about i have my boyfriend KICK YOUR A$$!!!"
Now, i was already in the redline, highly pissed off and getting worse.
I look at her boyfriend and he takes one look at me and HE tells his girlfriend "Shut the hell up! You already jacked up his paint job! Now you want me to try to kick his ***? What the hell are you thinking??? I'd be pissed too!!"
THen they start arguing and yelling, finally he gets her to apologize to me. Anyway, i had had enough of the two, so i take off.
NOW i have this chip in my paint! It is definatly not something that will buff out, as the paint is freaking GONE, all i see is the primer.
What can i do? My baby is scarred! I have a bottle of touch up paint the factory sent me, but ive had bad experiences in the past with that.
Any of you guys have any tricks for fixing this? or should i just take it to a shop and get the paint redone in that area?

dude, why did you not get his insurance and that would have paid for it. come on, please tell me you got his info. you should have black mailed him, tell people on the spot that you will call the police and get a report and make sure the persons insurance takes care of it, or they can settle the matter by you getting an estimate and if it is a hood or bumber, get an aftermarket body kit since they cost about the same as stock and make better of it.

yeah im really kicking myself in the butt about it. :sad7:
Honestly, i figured i could take it to a body shop and they could just repair the chip. never crossed my mind that they would have to do the whole door.
Well, i ended up using my "touchup" paint given to me by the dealer, for the most part it is pretty hard to see unless you know where to look.
Unfortunatly i know where to look so it still stands out like a thermo nuclear explosion in my mind.
Im gonna hold off on getting the whole door painted. I am toying with the idea of shaving the door handles off, and ill just paint the door then.

That really sucks...at my house I have a 21 year old sister who takes up the whole driveway cause she drives a car of my dad's and she would probably open her door right in to my car...I also used to park across the street by the curb but she almost t-boned me backing out...Now both my dad and I park on the curb in front so there is very little chance of her hitting one of us...anyone with a 21 year old sister can probably relate. :tongue3:

I live in fear of this every where I go. I park a far as I can at the stores I go to. At work we got pretty wide spaces but I still try to find one by itself. But that also makes it stand out to would be car break ins. AHHH. I try not to worry so much. But I have only 1 very small paint infraction. But you can't protect her all the time. anyway you got her confession to hitting your door. She should have been instructed to give you insurance info, contact info, and as a last resort, call the cops. maybe next time the dumb beach will open the door like a civilized human being and respect OP's cars...:male:

Its hard to protect it unless you bring it to a car show and you are in it or are crusing around town and dont need to park. My 14 month old Hemi Durango has been hit 6 times in the bumpers all while parked. I repaired all the damages and now it has been hit in the front which touch up paint took care of it but the rear needs a new bumper. The only thing that gets me pissed is I have no 1 to go after since these soccer moms buy these huge SUVs or mini vans and cant gauge the distance so they hit you and drive off :angryfire . As you can see I am dealing with this pretty well, right

I actually had some lady back into me while i was sitting in a friends driveway. (It was his dad's girlfriend) I parked there, she got into the car and i see her reverse lights go on. She starts to back up, i punch the horn. After she hit the gas, she backed up into my car. It wasnt my 'Stang, thank God. It was a little geo tracker. Didnt do any damage to me, but it left a nice black scar on her bumper. That little tracker was a tank!
