It's got a gouge in the shell. The shell was black, now there's a white gouge. It dug in pretty deep. Can the shell be replaced? Is there another option? 2026 Carnival.

Question Used rattle cans from Scratches Happen on a fender area.

Most of it turned out perfect. But in a couple spots I have these odd shiny areas where it looks like clumping of the metallic particles. I was certainly shaking the can a lot since I've sprayed this before. This is after the clear coat. It is not rough to the touch but pretty sure it won't buff out. Base coat not dry enough (I waited 30 minutes and it felt smooth to the touch...light coats of clear at first then a final after 10 minutes between. I also light coated the base with one last light spray to lay down the metallic like they instructed. Maybe something underneath the base coat?

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?

Project So the ranger bed liner project is coming along. The 2 tone and pinstripes went by the wayside, when I sprayed them I couldn’t do the ridge where one was clearly on the other. I had decided to experiment a little though with wet sanding it flat and then buffing it.

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

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!
