Can't believe I did this!!

I was tinkering with my two week old 2003 aegean blue pearl CL-S when I go and open the hood and as I raise it I hear a harsh scrape! I quickly realized I left the windshield wiper in the "up" position and when I opened the hood it scraped the wiper shaft causing a very deep scrape (looks like down to the primer) about 3 inches along the edge of the hood!!!

Any ideas how to fix this? I'll be calling the Acura dealer tomorrow to see if they have the aegean blue pearl touch-up paint yet...

Damn

i've heard to use a tooth pick to apply the paint and take plenty of time.

good luck

a toothpick is good, but the opposite end of a match is also a good idea....good luck

The only REAL way to fix it is to have it re-painted
