Got into a mini-accident.
Anyways, a streak of paint chipped off, the other person's car was dented, she cut me off and I couldn't brake.
Now, I am trying to respray the part that chipped off, any idea on how I'd go along repainting it? ( I have a WRB paint color. ) Sorry, no pics, yet.

Body shop? Anything else is bound to look terrible (ie. ghetto rigged)

It's a pretty long but very narrow streak. Narrow as in 1/4 of an inch.

Not likely, in many states the person who does the rear ending is at fault... even if his car was running from a nuclear explosion and an anvil fell from the sky obstructing traffic at the same time that her car appeared by teleporting through time and practically forced him to rear end her. It would be more likely that his insurance would pay for her dent. If you want to try something other than the body shop you can buy an electric buffer and see if you can buff it out, but it has to be very thin and if you screw up you can make it worse.

I'll try some touch up paint, the scratch is really pissing me off.
There is no real dent, though. Just chipped paint. |
