Off Road Casualties (Slight Rugburn)

So... I went to Bridgeport this morning and had some off road fun! I wanted to start off by saying that I am not upset by these "imperfections". Rather, I am curious if there is a way to touch up or buff out some of the scratches. Also, is there a way to replace that coating (black section) between the front passenger window and the back passenger window?

Regardless, I have learned a lot today and had a ton of fun. Its like getting the first ding on a new guitar - now I can play it without as much fear. Definitely doesn't discourage me from more adventures!

 

Your wife is going to shit and then she's going to kill you

 

The paint on these trucks is super soft. Scratches easily

 

LOL There's always that potential.

 

No way to fix the vynil on the pillars, the other scratches may buff out as long as your fingernail doesn't catch on the paint when going over it. The dent can probably be bent back to somewhat normal by hand. Very thin metal.

 

Yup. I don't have through scratches but what I do have looks like a stick dug into the paint and indented it. I don't even think the clear coat came off.

 

Well good he won’t be around to smell it

 

Step one:
Buy microfiber towels, high quality car wash, clay bar, instant detailer, polish, wax, sealant, and a few application sponges.

Step two:
Remove the predator steps

Step three:
Cut up the stock bumper and slap on a plate steel aftermarket bumper (I like my ARB, but most people hate the way it looks).

Step four:
Tires, lift

Step five:
Go wheeling again. The truck looks fine, dude.

 

There were no dents, just scratches. What happens when my fingernail can catch on a couple of the long ones? Out of curiosity.

 

It’s to the metal then it won’t buff out

 

Then it's gone past clear coat and to far into the paint to just buff out. Gonna need a touch up paint to fix but a bitch to blend.

 

LOL yeah, predator steps are on the way out anyways... at this point its a matter of 'when' not 'if'. Plate bumpers are $$$.. again another when not if.. i have to prioritize all the upgrades!! LOL I appreciate your responses, though.. all of these things will be done!

 

Next... chop that exhaust on the rear axle so it doesn't bash the bed side.

 

You go get more next weekend. Pretty soon you won’t care and can fully enjoy your truck

 

So I just get some vinyl cut to replace it in the event that I "need" to? Wait... PLASTIDIP!!!!!

 

That would probably be a better option as I dont think your going to lay that vynil down under the window seals like it is now.

 

And then she's going to kill him again.

 

Glad I could help LOL
EDIT: Thanks for the tip!

 

Suck it up Princess, your only gonna keep getting more, the more you go....

 

That's "Buttercup" to you, Princess. LOL

Sucking it up was and is an option, of course....
