Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Firstly i'm pretty clueless when it comes to this stuff so i'd appreciate any advice so whatsoever.

    I got a couple of scrapes on my passengers door a few days ago, entirely my fault.
    I was wondering what the best options would be. I would say most of it is Level 3 and Level 4. The paint looks completely gone on some of it. Picture is just an example. Thanks

    Do you have any experience with car paint?
    If not maybe start with getting a quote from a shop or three and see if it's worth going at it diy.

    Zero experience with car paint. Any idea generally how much it would be?

    If you want only a cheap and easy fix, a good option would be to get the matching paint(using the car's paint code) from a motor factors. Spray a little bit of the paint into the cover of the can or into a disposable cup. Then, using a tooth pick, fill in the scratch with the paint in the cover/cup.

    If you want a pro job a body shop is the place to go.
