It didn't bend your wheels?
Yea rent a car for a month it's cheaper than fucking up your shit.
I'm scared of trying to buff it. The dealer I bought it from took almost all the clear off with really shitty buffing. I'll end up repainting it for sure if I sand...
In the case I do end up repainting the whole thing, should I do "Gotta have it green", or satin black?

Deductible is $2k. I intend to paint her myself. Prolly 1500 in material.
To repaint the entire exterior (better than new finish) would run close to 8k-10k to do it correctly. Removing door handles, emblems, pulling headlights, taillights, weather stripping, wheel well liners, pulling bed to paint back of cab, removing all cladding and ect. Noting worse than see paint edges and over spray in area that where just masked off instead of taking the time to remove the item to achieve a quality job.
If you use good quality materials (which I would highly suggest such as PPG) you'll have over 2k into the sealers, paint, clear, reducers, activators and flex agent and related prepping products.
Agreed you are so right. I would rather have it scratched up then put a cheap paint job on it. You can have it plasti dipped for like 600-1000 buy jay is correct about realistic cost.
Agree with Arrest me Red, the other side was not even touched, so even if I did turn it in, she won't be perfect. I'm probably gonna go with SEM Products in satin. Bout $80/qt. the badges will never be put back on though. Nothing adheres to single stage paint... If I want the badge there you gotta paint around it.
