Thread: New car paint/coating heals from scratches

Tweet

Well hey what great news. We just went to a local crab feed, if I'd know one part crab shell to 99.9 parts urethane did this, I'd kept some legs!
What a cool concept. Where we live space always seems a premium. Therefore parking spaces are crammed together to gaurentee door dings, which people think are fine to do to someone else without leaving a note, but then are happy to complain up the yin yang if someone scratches their car. We were in a shopping mall in Corte Madera(high brow, shisshy type with expensive cars), when this guy pulls in next to us, clips our rear bummer denting it and scrapping the paint off. He then jumps out of his car and starts to go into the mall. I called him over, and he says doesn't look bad to me. I tell him I want his insurance. He says how about a twenty. I tell him the car just came back from the shop two weeks prior from someone rearending it. He says how about 40? Meanwhile my wife starts chimming in, just let it go Steve. Now I'm pissed at both of them, and again say I want to handle this through insurance companies, the guy panics and says ok, how about 200 bucks, I smile and say sure!
The moral of the story is people do things to others with no remorse, we sold the honda two weeks later after I buffed the scratch out and used a little touch up paint. The 200 went a long ways towards a nice weekend and dinner!
Self repair paint would have been even better!

thanks for the link shawnlee. Hope that they get it to the market very soon. Wonder what the final price will be. Probably have to sell my house in order to afford to paint my car.
