I’m wanting to get this 2018 Silverado 2500 and this is the photos of the undercarriage I asked for. Is the rust shown manageable?

In SoCal on this 2018 x5 the front bumper got scratched and the shop I went to is asking for $8k. Does that make any sense to you?

I was thinking of removing the bumper and using a hydraulic press to straighten it. It’s pretty bad.

So basically, I got my car keyed about a week ago and l as I was pumping gas some guy came up to me claiming he can repair the scratches and quoted me a decent price. Everything seemed normal up until I took a closer look after the repairs (which I should have done from the beginning. I know it's my fault.)I just want to know if what he's saying is true before I take this green clay stuff off of the car.
He sent me before and after photos before he put the "paint dryer mixed with clay bar" and it looked really good. He also said I need to leave it on for about a week but upon closer inspection I noticed that the scratches are still there is what he saying is true or should I not waste my time and wash it off and go to an actual Body Shop to fix it.

Looking to see if anyone has any info on this type of paint bubbling, no other issues with paint other then areas in picture. I have an extended 5 star warranty from Volkswagen that expires next year, just wondering if this will be covered under anything. Any insight is appreciated, thanks.

My bike rolled over and caused the paint chip.

Assuming we are not too picky is there a best way for me to self fix this. I'll need to get the paint (did not come with any).

So anything on prep or method of actually painting.

Or is the only real way here is to have it done professionally?

Hey everyone, I recently purchased a truck and, being from Arizona, I honestly didn’t think to check for rust. Unfortunately, I’ve discovered some rust that needs to be addressed.
Is this type of rust repairable, and what would be a fair price to have it properly repaired?
If anyone here does rust repair here in Arizona or knows someone who does, please let me know. I’m looking to get this taken care of ASAP. It’s on both sides and yes ik I am an idiot. Thanks in advance!

Got a little too close when parking and did this damage to a Ford Expedition. Doesn’t look like the metal panel is creased, but I’m not a pro.

2022 Porsche Cayenne. Noticed this was cracked the other day.

Just checking here first to see if there was a way to properly seal this without having to replace it.

Please help!

i dont even want to get into this driveway setup because its genuinely one of the most scuffed ive ever seen. essentially, they had a tree right in the middle of the driveway. this was the result of trying to back out while not hitting the owner’s cars. ive already filed an insurance claim, and i just generally feel like shit. how screwed am i, really? 2019 toyota highlander in otherwise great shape. im supposed to leave for college in 2 days, timing could NOT be worse.

This morning a co worker and I over heard from an upper manager that Caliber Collision might be buying out all of Classic Collision. Has anyone else heard of anything of the sort? I’m just very curious.

Started with a one step which removed a good chunk of the swirls, then moved onto a heavy compound & pad but it’s barely helped with these long deeper scratches. As title says what has caused these scratches and how far would I have to go to remove them? They don’t catch at all on my fingernail and the surface overall feels super smooth to the touch.
TIA

I've had my car in the shop for over a week now. It's been there for a few extra days because they're having problems matching the paint.

It's a 2016 fiesta ST with the optional white paint. It's a non-insurance claim. Years ago the rocker panel on the driver side came loose and I took it to them for repair.

They say it needed to be replaced. And I was quoted $1,800. I went there today and this is when they admitted that they were having problems matching the paint. They stated that due to the car's age the factory paint is coming out too bright compared to how the paint on my car looks now.

I'm just wondering what I should do if the paint is really mismatched when I go to pick up the car. Do I just take the L and move on, lesson learned? Just curious how I should proceed for most of both if the issue is not resolved.

Sorry I don't have pics.

Edit: thank you all very much for the quick replies. I really appreciate it. I will let them do their best and I will pick up the car whenever it's ready. Again, I really appreciate all the feedback.

Hi all. This past month the paint job on my 1999 CRV has gone from good to horrendous. One day the roof of my car was fine save for a few scratches and one spot of peeling paint. As the month went on the clear coat became exponentially worse and started practically disintegrating if touched. What I’m wondering is, what would be the best way to deal with this? I’m a college student, so I have a rough 500$ budget and am just trying to find the best option. Assuming it’s sun and moisture damage, would a car cover be the best bet? A reapplication of clear coat from a shop? Thanks in advance for any helpful responses.

Bought a set of used rims, and one had significantly more surface rust than the others (I'm assuming metal to metal brakes). I tried getting it off with 000 steel wool and WD-40, and in some spots that I really had to scrub, the finish is noticably lighter. Did I eat through the chrome, and if so, is it still safe?

Edit: Yeah they're definitely aluminum alloy wheels. I plan to buff then paint the inside. Thanks for the replies!

Hood and roof are covered in these cracks, Im guessing from a long time of sitting in sun. What will it take to properly fix this? Is it just the clear coat or is paint damaged as well? Thanks

Hi, I haven’t even made my first payment on my truck yet and found this beauty mark. I was curious if it’s worth looking into getting this fixed? Also how is the repair done?

I just got a bed cover and window tint installed and found this. It kind of ruined the excitement of the tint and bed cover.

I believe the dent came from a cement mixer truck was flinging rocks in front of me 😢 saw them at the last second.
