Angry soooo pissed.....

last night I was pulling out of this dive bar in the middle of nowhere. I was parked in the grass near the entrance cuz there was nowhere else to park. as i was pulling out I scraped my front passenger fender right by the rounded edge where it goes flat before the wheel well, on a cement post!!!!


the area was very dark so I hadn't seen it at all!! luckily there were no dents but I got a few scrapes down to the primer.
does anyone know about how much I might be looking at to get a fender painted in or near MA?

I did the same thing on the same area but at my Apt. complex I've been told it's going to cost me around $200-300 to get sand / paint job.

Oi.

On the bright side, I guess, if the price is the same I can just get a new front bumper but this time minus the drill holes for the front licenese plate...

i just got a quote from a reputable shop around here and they said that it is slightly dented and also that they were going to drop the bumper and the headlight to make sure it comes out evenly.... anyway the guy originally told me $450 but after talking to him for a few minutes he told me he'd get it down to $420.
I'm going to another shop tomm to see what they say
this really sucks though I' mean that could have been new springs and CAI .

I would just file a claim on my insurance. If it is $250 ded. then you could have the body shop do a complete machine glaze and bill the insurance!
