Very nice...
None of my previous black cars have ever looked as good as that.




I don't think that many black cars full stop look that good, end of. It is getting to the point that it's getting harder to see the car because of the reflections in it.

Thanks for kind words. It came up nice today and a bit of sun always helps.  :smiley:

Let me think about it for a sec...

And besides, I could get black to reflect black.  :laugh:

My wife managed to do this to her new car the other day :rolleyes:
The damage is about half a cm square.
Any ideas on the best approach to getting it repaired?

Would this be a smart repair or something more involved?

If it can be smart repaired, I think you’ll see it.  As said above, I personally think that needs a respray.

Where is it on the car? Hard to tell... I’ve seen some amazing smart repairs but they need a crease or corner to paint up to, wouldn’t work in say the middle of a door.
