hey guys wow. so today my tl pretty much got busted.
on the right side of my car towards the backseat doors....like right next to the right rear wheel....i somehow managed to get myself a minor dent and some MAJOR scratches T_T

so now i have to take it to the body shop.
but i was hoping for some advices on what to really look to fix? like i have some pics below. but like will i be able to get it fixed with just repainting?? or will i have to expect more extreme things?? like just any comments on the damages and how to fix them will be great.

advices/suggestions will help. thanks alot.

 

I've seen this before.

Those Red X's will buff right out.





You gotta host the photos somewhere - like photobucket or imageshack.

^------------ above are the pictures. sorry for the lateness.

 

how deep are the scratches? I would suggest you take some compound and try to see if you can get rid of these "scratches" as they might be some paint transfer. if that does nothing, these are your following options:
1. Live with it
2. Get some Paintless dent removal and use touchup paint method, then wetsanding.
3. get a pro bodyshop to take out dent and repaint that area.

 

They don't really look like light scratches... I had a similar accident...... cost me 800 bucks to fix it and mine was smaller.

 

That screaming sound is your wallet. That aint gonna rub out with anything. For future reference the Meguires Scratch remover works great. (but only for light scratches, not the bare metal you have going on)

That will rust if you don't get it fixed soon.

 

And I hope to God you're going to replace that tire soon, too.
