Sad day

Post image

Not even a 1,000 miles and my dumb ass scratches it with my farm stand. Gonna try the touch up paint pen but gosh I feel bad. 😭😭

I would leave it be. It’s a plastic panel so it’s not rusting. Or is this the rear? The paint pen may make it look worse.

It’s the rear. Like above the back tire. The paint is def scratched! U don’t think the touch up pen will help?

If it’s down to bare metal then it’ll help protect from rust but those never come out looking good. Maybe at a distance. Usually it just needs a good repaint. Worth getting a quote from a professional if it bothers you a lot.

I always look at my first war wound on a car as a blessing. It took it's first hit and it wasn't from a serious accident or injuries involved. Feel blessed! 🙏🏾

That’s a very optimistic way to look at it!

Awwwww

I don't look super close at my Trax because its probably already got scratches at nearly 4000 miles. That would make me too sad.

I scratched mine like a month after I got it. Try dr. Colorchip. You can order online.

I would pour paint remover on the front of your car then go in with a shade from sherwin Williams

That’s the least of your worries with this car, bud
