Prick backed into my NISMO with his truck

Wolfenstein · 12-31-2013, 01:10 PM

So just before I put away my car for winter I took her to a local hardware store to pick up some parts. When I pull into the parking lot I park behind this guy getting into his truck. The parking spaces are very long so I gave about a 2-3 foot gap between my front bumper and the back of his truck. When I get out of the car the guy looks at me kind of funny look while he was climbing into his cab (which I didn't think anything of) so I went into the store for like 10 minutes. When I came out this is what I saw on my front bumper.....

Which means this prick intentionally backed up and hit me before he pulled straight out an left.

That sucks.
Sometimes I will wait in my car if I see someone getting in the car next to me, just to make sure.
I have learned never to park next to a truck or SUV or anywhere near the back end of a truck or SUV.

Even though I'm mad about that my brother in-law cheered me up this Christmas because he got me JWT pop charger intakes.

Thats sweet! Sorry about the lack of cameras and bad luck brother. Karma is a bitch tho and that guy has it coming!

Buy a touch up paint. Apply it and sand it down. Keep doing this until the chips are flush. Finally polish it and you're good to go

I'd seriously offer you a free service if you were near me

I just ordered a 2oz. bottle of touch-up paint for her, will be here in 3 days, i will post pics of how it looks when i am done.

jaedub, if you have any specific details/hints to get it done I would appreciate it. Like what grit sandpaper or any other info or techniques?

There is no way it will make it look worse. Just be sure to apply enough paint to cover the hole. This will take multiple paint application since you have to let it dry after each time. Finally, sand it down with 2500~3000 grit sand paper. Make sure the sand paper is lubed with water/car spray. After polishing it, the damage shouldn't be noticeable after couple feet of distance. I did plenty of these repairs on my car.

If you're still uncomfortable with the procedure, look up proper touch up paint DYI on youtube. There are some great and knowledgeable sources out there. Good luck

Also, be sure you get a random orbiting polish (Won't burn through the clear coat even by the hands of a rookie). There is no way you can polish it like new by hands.

Ok, I'll look up some tutorial vids and run to the store to pick up some sandpaper. I'll take some step by step pictures and well as before an after and post them when it is done. Wish me luck

Sorry to hear about what happened. I have always been a believer in "what goes around, comes around". His time will come. Hope you have a good New Year.

Ah yes! The ole balltongue kiss. Let this be a lesson to never park next to jealous, inbred rednex. Wal*MarX and hardware store parking lots are well known for this type of activity.
