Yup, the lawn crew done went and did it!!!

Your lawn service is supposed to have insurance for stuff like this.

 

Pdr might not be able to get there because a brace runs right there

 

Perhaps. I'll ask, but I suspect they'll disclaim it and of course it's a big 'ol battle then. It's not my guys either; it's the property management that contracts the service.

 

Did they do a good job on the lawn at least?

In all seriousness I would lose sleep over that, really sorry buddy.

 

You have a contract with the property management people? Then deal with them as the lawn people work for them. In the end it’s the property management people that are liable for what their subcontractors do. Either way, sucks that this stuff happens.

 

Same here. Those guys can pull out the ugliest dents, then you can hit it with your touchup.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

the ding looks better

 

If you know if a really good detail shop in your area, you might consider PDR and then have them touch up the paint. I wet sanded once and it cost me $400 after I ruined my wife's hood. Rather than a full door repaint, I'd see if a good detailer will touch up and wet sand/buff after the PDR guy does his magic. If it's going to bother you, get it fixed. But the less new paint the better in my opinion.

 

Totally agree; very hard to match factory product without doing the Full Monty.

 

It’s totaled time to buy a Colorado

 

Toyota touch up paint pen, I did a few chips on my truck with one and I can live with it

 

Lots.... of........ humor.......... on.................. this............................ forum.......................................

Good advice too.

Both have their value.

I tracked down the most well reviewed local PDR guy via yelp. We'll see what he has to say. Also, will call a P&B shop based on a referral.

 

I have never had any luck getting a body/paint shop to touch up. They have only offered to repaint. A well renowned detail shop out here will touch up and wet sand and buff so it'll barely be visible. To most people it won't.

 

i feel you pain. woke up one morning less then a week after taking her home to a hug black paint transfer going from front fender to bed this was the best i was able to clean it up. not worth the 1000$ insurance deductible to get it fixed. got the first dent/scratch out the way real quick. sucked but over it now

 

pffft thats a battle scar. but the fix is pretty simple. bondo the hole, then have macco paint over that once its smooth. or buy a new door

 

Thanks Buddy, I feel much better now. But wait, now I'm feeling your pain.

Agreed. Took a day, but I'm sorta over it... or at least accepting. I tracked down a good PDR guy. Going to have him do his magic first, then will follow up with Dr. Colorchip.

 

heres my

 

PDR will handle that I think. Or keep it for the good story.
