Tailgate paint

So I got these starches when someone closed the garage on my truck. Should I try to repaint it myself or get it professionally done, how much do you think it will cost. Thanks

 

Just had my tailgate repainted in oregon... cost me 275

 

Damm

 

It doesn't look awful but pics can be deceiving. I would wet sand and then buff just to see if you can get it all out. If that doesn't work then I would just have someone else do it.

 

You think thats bad? have a look at mine, it has the classic bend from too much weight, and a nice amount of paint cracked from said bending

 

Professional
About 200-300
Make sure it's a good well know spot.
Colors fade after a while

 

As someone who has done paint correction for 10+ years, you may be able to get a DA polisher, some Meguiars M105 and M205 and make that look about 80% better. Then use a small amount of touch up paint arround the corners.

The harbor freight DA is pretty good for the money if you use a 20% off on it. Get the pads from autogeek. The velcro on the harbor freight pads aren't great.

 

Have a pro do it. Equipment to do it yourself would be costly.

My guess is $500 to repaint.

If you can catch the scratches with your nail you can’t buff it out. But if you can’t you probably can buff it out. A local detailer can quote you. Its hard to tell just how bad it is.
