Hard to see but u can see the black marks where it went right past the primer



Would have cost me $2300 to fix but i took the 2 hit and runs and my gf smashing the car into my bike as a sign and sold the car and never fixed it.
Thats around exactly where I was hit, except a little lower. Terrible man also thats some bad luck sorry to hear that

I'm traveling right now so have to wait to I get back to have it professionally repaired. I managed to buff out all the light scratches but there's still the 3 gashes where the paint is completely gone.

Probably gonna cringe when I see the price quote
