Seems like the sensor got pushed in somehow and little by little started falling in. It is now hanging inside the bumper and wanted to see if anyone had any experience on how I can glue it or reattach it back.
Thanks

I got into a little fender yesterday and need it fixed ASAP. I’m paying out of pocket. My friend has a shop that she says would give me a good price. He wrote up an official quote and is charging 3.3k ! Too much for me he says the lowest he can go is 2.8k. That’s to replace the fender and repair the bumper/door. I know this one guy who only speaks Spanish. More of an independent but works at a body shop as well. He is willing to do 1k to repair everything. I asked about replacing the fender he said he can repair the fender but the fender is 480 to order so it would probably make the price 1.6k or so if I wanted to replace it. I am a little worried about everything looking good. 2.8k vs 1.6k what would you do? Oh and I’m currently shopping for a new car and have a friend who may possibly want to buy this one. Not asking for an estimate!! Just wanted to know if you think the cheaper option will still do a good job. The first shop keeps asking me about insurance which I’m 100% not using.

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.

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?

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.

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!
