    Repairing damage on brown truck

    I did try, but they are not allowing a second quote. The 3rd & 4th everything was closed, days I worked was 6-6pm. Monday it goes into the shop for a week to get the tranny worked on; they pushed for monday. I'm hoping I even *have* it at that point. It didn't sound like I was given an option...

    Repairing damage on brown truck

    Shop #1 spooked insurance with crazy prices :( They are insisting on sending an adjuster in person, cash settlement. So probably peanuts.

    Repairing damage on brown truck

    Can see through to the line looking straight on, not on angle though. had the tiniest thinnest amount in very bottom of can. I wetted a q tip and applied. I was looking at scuff, dent and parts not through to metal do have white powdering. So must be clear coat!

    Repairing damage on brown truck

    Actually, I'm starting to really wonder! Bumper is dark brown, but spots that I assumed was spray can/ bedliner overspray on the body do have the same look??? Minus a clear coat? Maybe guy just got 1 can and went to town? It does have flecks of same color as paint. Really hard to capture...

    Repairing damage on brown truck

    Ok that is alot to think about from you guys. I'll go check out a restoration shop next, quiz them on what type of paint I even have on it! Neither of the first two even mentioned type or whether theirs was compatable so there is my answer to that. Have to keep looking. Thank you guys so much...

    Repairing damage on brown truck

    One word: Michigan. We are a no fault state, so I provided her insurance information but ithe way our state works it's up to my insurance to cover me. Probably good since idk if she had collision and wasn't well off. I bought the most insurance I could, have unlimited plus collision. I am...

    Repairing damage on brown truck

    The guy offering this style was also talking about using clear over whole panel, including parts not patched. To spruce up and bring color back to newer look. Would that still be good? Can clear go over old enamel? Idk if this paint is og, both shops said there's been work done so might already...

    This will be going to a shop, collision coverage is giving me a $0 deductable but the shops are offering wildly different approaches. It's sounding like patch paint is better than stripping the whole panel?

    Repairing damage on brown truck

    My what looks to be indian bronze metallic truck was backed into today, got a dent and scratches on the tailgate side panel. Shop number 1 said looked like had been repainted, and was unsure of an exact match. It sounded like he wanted to take her down to bare metal and do whole panel, feather...

    What did we do before cup holders?

    Which do you find more useful? I've been looking at a bench one but the floor one looks like it'd be more out of the way. Is it a pain to reach down?

    Brown truck pictures!

    The seat I got was restored, thank you though! If I did anything with the seat I'd get vinyl. Hot in summer, but easier to slide into.
