Default Hit the curb, now trying to fix it.

So I hit the curb entering my office parking lot while being distracted while looking at some dude that was coming straight at me. Needless to say I now need to repair it.



Step 1: Clean it with Simple green


Step 2: Dremel it down


Step 3: Mask the area


Step 4: Apply JB Weld


Step 5: Sand Dried JB Weld


Step 6: Apply 1st Coat of Paint


Step 7: Apply 2nd Coat of Paint


This is what it looks like after it dried:


Step 8: Sand the dried paint


After the paint cures I think I will apply some polish. Nevertheless, I think the results are fairly good. At least it's better than having the nasty curb rash there.

I used the small cylinder thing of the dremel with the sanding paper attached to it. Kinda like this:

For paint I used duplicolor paint I found at advance auto parts, all it said was: Nissan Silver. I honestly think there has to be a better match out there, but for now, it will do.
