Got clipped today, please help out with options, price estimates...
Yeah, so I'm dropping my fiance' off at LAX this morning @ 6am after getting four hours of sleep and when I'm leaving, a bus cuts over two lanes to make it onto the last turn off for the airport loop - anyways, he barely clips my right front bumper - it's so sudden and slight rub that he doesn't stop, I slam on my brakes but am now past the turn off he takes and have a horde of people honking at me. I didn't get a license plate number, the company of the bus, it was just too damn early and it happened so fast. ANYWAYS, it popped my front right headlight so I need to get a new one of those but after cleaning up his paint off my bumper with scratchX, I'm left with about a 4 inch rub where there's no paint but the bumper is structurally fine. Do I just get a respray for this? What would that run? Any suggestions greatly appreciated...
Oh, sorry for the crappy quality pics, it's on my cell since my girl took our good camera. Not bad pictures but it can't quite render my fair ass skin so it makes my hand look like a burn victim... weird.

Paint experts - I need some advice!!!!!
I recently got hit while parked at one of the bars here. College campus, not surprised one bit. The way it hit the trunk lid, theres no way it can be fixed. I recently picked up a mint condition trunk lid from the same car, except a different color. I'm going to have the new trunk lid repainted and they will probably have to blend the paint down into the quarter panel. How much am I looking at price wise for this job?
Is this for the BMW in your signature? Its as simple as finding out the labor times for removal and of the old deck lid and installation of the new one and its components, edging the inside of new lid, painting the lid and blending the quarters. As long as there is no body work needing to be done to the used lid(dings, dents etc.)I would rough estimate at around 600-800 bux. Also going to depend on the labor rate in your area. Ask around and go to a decent shop that does BMW (maybe call the dealer near you and see who they use) and get an estimate. Hope this helps a bit.

Yea, like Bobby said, that is a tough color to paint well.

My rear lip cost me 100.00 to get painted, use this as an estimate.

So what are my chances of getting this oxidation to come out with a good rubbing compound or any other suggestions you may have? The car looks good but up close after i used mcquires paint cleaner, then Zymol wax a few oxidation spots REALLY stood out! What you guys think of Zymol btw? Thank you very much in advance.

i just got my rear bumper redone. i see a bunch of sharp points (almost like grains of sand under the paint) on the bumper, some globbing on the bottom where they sprayed too heavily, and then the very edge of the bumper has like no paint. should i bring it back or are these normal traits of a redone bumper?

I'm toying with the idea of painting some parts of my chassis. I haven't picked out any colors yet, but ideally I'd want something bright and long-lasting. Any advice on type of paint or equipment I'd need?

The item is long gone from Ebay. But I had a big dent at one time and had a contractor who works for a local dealer do an amazing job fixing that.
I don't think bondo or paint job would have even got it to that. Considering I kept the original paint.
