Hey guys, I was driving home late last night and as luck would have it, I clipped a curb and scrapred my sideskirt towards the rear wheel. The picture actually makes it look a little worse than it is, but right now it looks like my options are the following:

a) Touch up the spot as best I can

b) Buy a whole new side skirt

c) Just let it go

I'm extremely OCD, so this is really bothering me right now, lol. Any help is appreciated.

 

got a bigger picture?

seems like a touch up will do the work

 

If it's just a straight scrape (it's difficult to tell from the picture), you should be able to repair this yourself.

1) Sand the scrape to a smooth surface.
2) Apply touchup paint (you can buy this from your dealer).
3) When the paint is dry, buff the surface.

thats nothing, touch up with oem paint and never get down to look at it, give it 3 weeks and youll forget about it

 

Yeah, it is def a straight scrape, I guess I could try touching it up first, I'm just nervous about sanding.

 

Dude, I think you are my brother. I did the same thing about 3 weeks ago. Just like you im extremely OCD and had to get it fixed. I actually got the whole fender painted but for a cheaper route its really easy to fix. before you start painting make sure you clean the surface. Take some high grit sandpaper and make sure you sand the scrape to a smooth finish. You will destroy some of the clearcoat around the area so make sure you have some spray clear coat on hand after you paint. once it is spray paint it with the factory color, obtained from a dealer. apply 4-5 thin coats. Avoid overspray to prevent runs. Once dried, buff it up with some good wax and elbow grease. It should not even be noticeable if you do a good job. If you need anymore help let me know
