what happened?

 

well its on the front passanger side, well i always backup at work so i can just pull away, it wasint there when i got off work and the only place it coulda happin was at the publix so i think someone ran intoit with a cart, but im mosly gonna have to pay for some hitting my blazer witch sucks becouse im 18 and still in highschool so i dont get to work alot of hours so my pay isint that much but the money im gonna have to save will take months if a year to fix and that money coulda went toward mods.

 

Major suckage dude! I would be absolutely raging![:@]

 

doesnt look like a shopping cart, it has multi directional scratches. looks like it got brushed by a vehicle forward and reversing.

 

It's just me (because I am a perfectionist and I hate imperfections lol), but I would hit it with at least some primer and duplicolor (maybe a little body filler depending on how deep they are) for now 1. to make it look a little better than that 2. if the sratches are deep, save yourself from further damage and higher repair costs (i.e. rust)

Does the store have security cameras in the parking lot. They should, maybe they have something on camera that can help you. If someone hit my blazer in the parking lot, I would scour the town for a car or truck with black scrapes on it and makle them pay. j/k

 

x2 on the multi-directional scratch. You've got a hit and run on your hands.

For cost you might want to look into learning some painting skills : )

 

I think thats plastic... but you could still hit it with the duplicolor or something to temporarily hide it until you can fix it.

 

Yeah that sucks dude. for a temporary/cheaper fix sand the area a little, then get some bondo/glazing putty and fill in the scratches, then sand it smooth, hit it with some primer, wetsand after primer is dry, then get some spray touch up paint, then you could clear it too. If you take your time with it, most people won't even be able to notice, only you would know its there. And the cost of fixing it like that should be less than $30.

 

its an EASY fix. A shop will charge about 100 bucks, and have it back the same day. That duplicolor is pretty much garbage on other than solid colors. You will need to get an actual gun and quality paint to lay down the metallics right. Take some 220 grit sandpaper, hit it with it, fill in the scratches with filler, sand the filler with 320, prime it with a filler primer, (any rattle can). sand with 600 WET. then your ready for paint.

to bad you don't live by me i could have that done and primed in about 15 mins.
