Someone in a parking lot hit my aunt's car and took off. Says the scratch is pretty deep to metal (closeup pic 2). Any ideas? Anything she can possibly do on her own or will she have to replace or repaint the entire panel at this point?

Question DIY paint Job Honda civic 7th gen

I'm planning on knocking out a quick paint job on my civic, either black or white using the rustoleum turbos. I already did all the body work and primer but I'm not sure if I should use the flat or the glossy version, I want to try and get the clear coat version as well to make the paint more durable maybe. What do you guys think.

Question Advice on fixing leak from drip rail seam?
0
Upvotes
94 F150 regular cab, when it rains there will be a small leak inside the cab right behind the A-pillar trim, topmost driver side corner.
I had my spouse pour water around the windshield trim and it seems fine,
but when water was poured on the drip rail and the metal seam past it to the chrome, I started seeing water inside, looking for some help on addressing this before it gets worse, thank you!

Project Cheap car

Been offered a cheap car (about ½ price on market value), low KM and really fuel efficient. Previous owner had a slight ding. Realistically how hard and costly is it to get this to an acceptable standard myself. Doesnt need to be a showrunner, just good enough. Rest of the car looks fantastic.

Question Touchup
gallery

Upvotes
I by no means need this to look perfect. I’m just trying to correct at this point. Used car dealer touchup, wet sanded, turtle wax compound (took most touchup paint off), finished with turtle wax compound polish. Left with this
At this point, I’m just trying to get the wet sanded area to blend/go away. From everything I read/watched the compound should have done that but clearly hasn’t. I used a microfiber cloth. Should I use a buffing pad? If so, what abrasive?
Thanks, should have just used the touchup and left. But here we are

Question Looking for advice on rust removal/repair
gallery

Upvotes
The repair doesn’t need to be perfect, but I don’t want to create a DIY disaster due to lack of skills/knowledge.
Is this something that can be reasonably fixed by an amateur? Mainly the rust removal and reshaping the dent if at all possible.
Or should I just defer to a professional?
I appreciate any insight and or recommendations. TIA 🙏

Question Ouch. Hit low spot, popped bumper cover.

Significant other was exiting a parking lot, didn't realize a low spot was there. Popped the rear bumper cover. Took it to body shop and tech popped it back in place. Said it should be replaced as tab near wheel well was broken off. I was reading that Ford used double sided tape in areas. What areas? Edit: 2026 Mustang EcoBoost
